According to GetEQUAL's Twitter feed, six activists including Lt. Dan Choi have chained themselves to the White House fence today in protest of "don't ask, don't tell." Here's a photo. Stay tuned for updates. This marks the second time Choi has chained himself to the fence. On March 18, Choi and another outed military officer, Capt. Jim Pietrangelo were arrested. Choi and Pietrangelo were scheduled to go to trial April 26 for failure to obey a lawful order.

11:45 a.m. Central Time, UPDATE: According to GetEQUAL, the six activists are Choi, Pietrangelo, Petty Officer Larry Whitt, Petty Officer Autumn Sandeen, Cadet Mara Boyd and Cpl. Evelyn Thomas.
