In an ABC News report, Christiane Amanpour talks to Daniel Hernandez, an intern who helped keep Congresswoman Giffords alive. (see in the clip at 5:15)
Later, it was pointed out that Daniel is openly gay in the Dallas Voice. The site is down, but I found the info from Joe.My.God
Hernandez, who confirmed that he is gay in an interview with Instant Tea on Sunday morning, is a member of the City of Tucson Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. “She’s been a great ally to the LGBT community,” Hernandez said of Giffords during the brief interview across a bad connection. According to the Arizona Republic, Hernandez was standing about 30 feet from Giffords during the “Congress on Your Corner” event outside a Safeway store near Tucson. When the gunshots began, Hernandez ran toward them and began checking the pulses of people who’d been hit.

Way to go Daniel! Truly an American hero, selfless and unarmed!
I hope everyone talks about and praises him just as much as we talk about the shooter. Him and people like him are the reason why I still have hope and love for the US in the face of these crazy times!
