Obama names three more gay ambassadors; nearly doubles Clinton’s LGBT appointments (272 vs 140)

President Obama this month nominated three openly gay men for posts as ambassadors to Spain, Denmark, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

On June 14, the president named James Costos to take over as ambassador to Spain and Rufus Gifford to become ambassador to Denmark. On June 10, he named Daniel Baer to serve as ambassador to the 57-nation security group that cooperates to address concerns over such matters as border security, human trafficking, and the illegal distribution of weapons.

The new nominations this month bring to estimated 272 the number of appointments President Obama has made of openly LGBT people to his administration. That’s almost double the estimated 140 appointments of LGBT people by President Clinton during his two terms. President Obama was also the first president to appoint an openly transgender person to his administration.

Some of the increased number under the Obama administration is no doubt due to the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund’s creation, in 2008, of a “Presidential Appointments Project.” The project is aimed specifically at “increasing LGBT appointees” and provides an easy mechanism for interested candidates to funnel their resumes into the right hands. A former Victory Fund President, Brian Bond, was among the first of Obama’s openly LGBT appointments. Bond served in Obama’s first term as deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Seventy-five of Obama’s openly LGBT appointees serve in the White House or on presidential boards or commissions. The rest are spread out over 15 departments, 12 agencies, and the federal judiciary. After the White House itself, the Department of Education has the largest number of openly LGBT appointees (24), followed by the departments of Labor and Health and Human Services (both with 16).

He appointed an open homosexual as our ambassador to Libya. That didn’t work out so well.

fta... “President Obama was also the first president to appoint an openly transgender person to his administration.”
************************
I’ve read through 30-something posts on this thread and still didn’t see anyone identify who this person is. Who is the transgender person? Anyone know?

Does his selection process have anything to do with a candidate’s administrative qualifications?

She/he/it can drive your plane if needed, or change your oil in your truck. The estrogen looks nice, but I wonder if she's still has a Mr. Happy.

The openly homosexual ambassador in Benghazi didn’t work out so well for Barry Soetero, did it?

So now the way you have sex is more important than actual qualifications for a job

so to is the color of your skin or ethnic background.

for liberal progressives it’s what you are not who you are

Oh GAWD!!!
When I was in the Navy and stationed in DC, one of the plum off-hours positions was White House Social Aide where you got to be in full dress uniform, escort guests, etc. - they were the ones used for Mooch’s Oscar moment.
To become a WH Social Aide, you had to be scrutinized and checked out by the wH Social Secretary...wonder how that’s done these days with this gay guy?

This administration's pedal to the metal pushing of every aspect of the homosexual agenda is one of its many vile aspects. The homosexual agenda is tyranny - destroying our Constitutional freedoms of speech, religion and association. And pushing perversion all over the world with OUR tax dollars is beyond hateful. I pray that this will stop and turn around - one way or another.

Freepmail ME not wagglebee if anyone wants on/off any of my ping lists.
