Dominicans Rage Against Obama's Gay Ambassador Pick
Foreign Policy ^ | July 11, 2103 | By John Hudson

Posted on 07/11/2013 11:19:53 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

Opposition to President Obama's nominee for U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic reached a fever pitch this week as religious organizers stage a "Lunes Negros" or Black Monday protest against James "Wally" Brewster.

If confirmed, Brewster will be the first openly gay ambassador to the country, a prospect that is not going over well with some segments of this conservative Christian country of 9 million people. Local reports indicate that church leaders are pressuring the government to reject Brewster's nomination and calling on the faithful to dress in black on Monday in solidarity against him.

Praise Christian Church Pastor Sauford Medrano is quoted in Diario Libre as saying that Brewster could cause "the U.S. promotion of gender beliefs in the country." That supposedly violates a general education law in the country that "all the Dominican education system is based on Christian principles."

What problem? Any nation can reject a US ambassador of which it disapproves.

This is brazen for sure.
Guess because he has more flexibility now.
He is poking a finger in the eyes of all his political enemies including our country’s allies.

“To send an openly homosexual ambassador is like saying to them, “ You are not men, you are a nation of faggots, so we are sending you a faggot ambassador.””

You are right. We should send this ambassador to Iran. Oh wait..

Ironically the Roman Catholic Cardinal leading the fight against the ambassador faces allegations that he covered up child sex abuse and helped a pedophile evade authorities and flee the country.

I thought the idea of ambassadors was to promote beneficial relationships between two countries.
