A former U.S. Army Sergeant, who actively fought against the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was killed in a car crash. Sheriff's deputies said Darren Manzella, 36, was killed August 29 along Interstate 490 in Pittsford, NY, just outside Rochester. Manzella side-swiped another car, and while pushing his car towards the side of the road, he was hit by an SUV. Sergeant Manzella made national headlines for speaking out against DADT in a 2007 interview with "60 Minutes." He was discharged from the Army in 2008. Friends said Manzella had just married his partner in July.
