Half the Pride of our November 2009 issue (along with Col. Victor Fehrenbach) and a mainstay in the headlines this month, Lt. Dan Choi is posed to herald over the gays of NYC at the city's Pride parade this year. Lt. Choi was Grand Marshall of SF Pride in 2009.

From Queer New York:

This past Monday, February 8th 2010, at a meeting of NYC Pride (aka Heritage of Pride) it was announced that Lt. Dan Choi would be one of the Grand Marshals for the 41^st Annual LGBT Pride March, which will occur on June 27^th, 2010. When first approached about the request to be the NYC Grand Marshal, Lt. Choi responded with resounding excitement and a sense of honor for all who have struggled under this policy.    Lt. Choi’s selection and acceptance of the honor of NYC LGBT Pride Grand Marshal marks the first time in U.S. history that an openly gay male on active service with the U.S. Armed Forces will be an LGBT Pride March Grand Marshal.
