...West Point, where he received his degree in 2003. Choi later helped found Knights Out, an LGBT support group for West Point graduates. Choi served as an Arabic linguist in Iraq in 2006 and 2007 before transferring to the New York National Guard in June 2008. Harvard Humanist Chaplain Greg M. Epstein said he hoped Harvard students would pay attention to the “selflessness” Choi has shown in standing up not only for himself, but for others who are or will be faced with similar situations, despite the effect it has had on his professional life...

Taking a break from a shift at the indoor gun range where he works one day a week, Pagano tells TIME that he's an avid sport shooter and a proponent of responsible gun ownership. Despite criticism for commingling guns and religion, he stands by his view that Christians are called on to be prepared to defend themselves and their families. "Pacifism is optional for Christians," says Pagano. "It's not a requirement...
