Two openly gay US Army officers have been arrested after chaining themselves to the fence of the White House in a protest over the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy.
Lt. Dan Choi and Cpt. Jim Pietrangelo were lead away by police as around fifty protestors looked on. Choi had said he'd remain chained to the fence "until we have full equality."
