Gay travel news roundup: Choi cuffed by force, others forced by choice

Here’s a quick look at the top stories traveling around GayCities this week:

………………………………

* Iraq war veteran turned gay activist Dan Choi is arrested after handcuffing himself to the White House to protest DADT.

* If Dan hasn’t thrown the cuffs away yet, maybe you’ll catch him at the notorious Black Party this weekend in New York.

* Someone you won’t find at the Black Party is Samina Khan, the New York pharmacist who claims she was swindled into marrying a gay immigrant.

* South Korea knows how to party–who knew?

* Itawamba Agricultural High School (?) in Mississippi would rather cancel prom altogether than allow a lesbian senior to show up in a tux. In other news, every stereotype you have about rural Mississippi has just been reinforced.
