On Tuesday, May 10, 2011, the GetEQUAL 13 went to court for the November 15, 2011 White House Fence protest to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) what we hope is the last time. No media were in the courtroom, so what happened there was for the most part not reported on.

And beyond that, we had a direct action scheduled for after our court appearance. In telling what happened in court on May 10th, the story of how what happened in court derailed the scheduled direct action -- a direct action scheduled to highlight the issue of healthcare for disabled, transgender veterans at Veterans Administration (VA) healthcare facilities.
