Earlier Robin McGhee had asked Joe Solmonese, President of The Human Rights Campaign is Choi could speak at the rally. Solmonese reportedly said that it was "Kathy Griffins rally" Kathy Griffin took to her twitter and said "It was my honor 2 share th podium w Lt Dan Choi today. I understand he's been arrested in front of the White House. I dig that dude! Balls!" The HRC Released this statement about why Joe Solomonese didn't follow the lead of Lt Dan Choi, why he stayed behind : "Today more than 1000 people showed up at a rally - 500 of which signed up to become more involved in the fight to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' Joe Solmonese along with Eric Alva and others felt it was important to stay and engage those at the rally in ways they can continue building the pressure needed for repeal. This does nothing to diminish the actions taken by Lt. Choi and others. This is the nature of social change and everyone has a role to play."
