Kerry: 'I'm Working Hard to ... Have Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Ambassadors'
The Weekly Standard ^ | 6-23-14 | Jeryl Bier

Posted on 06/23/2014 6:43:33 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

With much of the Obama administration's foreign policy in tatters, John Kerry is clear on at least one goal he hopes to achieve by the end of his time as secretary of state: having lesbian, bisexual, and transgender ambassadors representing the United States. In remarks to a GLIFAA (formerly Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies) Pride event in the Ben Franklin Room at the State Department, the secretary ran through a litany of accomplishments by the Obama administration that benefit the "LGBT/gay community." During his speech, Kerry said that, if confirmed, Ted Osius (nominated by President Obama for the post in Vietnam) would be the sixth openly gay U.S. ambassador currently in service:

So I am very proud of the progress that we are now making even in appointing LGBT ambassadors. I worked with the committee here at the State Department – with the D Committee, and I worked with the White House. And as a result, Ted Osius, sitting here, whom I’ve known a long time, and his family I know, will be the first openly LGBT officer nominated to serve as an ambassador in Asia. And on confirmation, he’s going to join five openly gay ambassadors who are now serving their country. I’m working hard to ensure that by the end of my tenure, we will have lesbian, bisexual, and transgender ambassadors in our ranks as well.

As he began his talk, Kerry recognized GLIFAA event moderator, Robyn McCutcheon, as the "first transgender Foreign Service officer to come out on the job":

UN-believable! And this country has now cut off aid to Uganda over Obama's objection to their Constitutiion which outlaws homosexuality. Never mind that Uganda is recognized as the only African nation that has been successful at stopping the spread of HIV/Aids.

Do you suppose that these 2 events are related?

That is not a surprise. Looking at the situation in Russia, the Ukraine, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, and a couple dozen other countries, it was obvious that qualifications and competence were not priorities.

These people belong on another planet, not on ours.
They keep sending money to the vicious bearded headchoppers but not to Uganda!

Ever notice how freeloading, professional commie lib politicians always talk about themselves being “hard workers”. Hillary is on this “hard worker” roll right now too. What a bunch of buffoons. Liberal politicians haven’t worked a day in their life.

Putting the gay mafia in charge of foreign affairs is troubling. It occurs to me that the gay mafia in high places in government agencies enforce their bias against conservatives, Christians, patriots...

Since all international problems are solved, we don’t need to select our ambassadors on competence or knowledge.

Men dressing up like women to lead troops into battle. Can you imagine that - what an atrocity! What a mockery!

Our national leadership has become a transvestite chorus in campy off-Broadway drag-queen show.

Decadent Berlin....

Bingo.

Conservatives work hard to find people who will do an excellent job, and will work to the best of their abilities at it.

Liberals work hard to fill checkboxes on some sort of mental form. ("Gay?" "check." "Transgender?" "check.").

'Tis why they always fail.

Grotesque. Sick.

America-2014 has truly become an evil ‘mirror-universe’ of everything it once was and once stood for. It’s a hell of a thing. Just seeing the greatness that was once America, now wallowing in, promoting, and celebrating such degeneracy.
