(CNN)The State Department on Monday formally apologized for what it describes as decades of discrimination against LGBT employees and job applicants, a rare statement meant to right wrongs that preceded current Secretary of State John Kerry.
"These actions were wrong then, just as they would be wrong today," Kerry said in a statement issued by the department in his name. "On behalf of the Department, I apologize to those who were impacted by the practices of the past."
Kerry has been under pressure in recent weeks to issue a public apology.
In November, Sen. Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat who is the ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wrote a letter to Kerry, published by the Washington Blade, asking that he "take steps to remedy a deep stain on our national history and that of the State Department itself: The legacy of the so-called 'lavender scare' in which hundreds of State Department employees were dismissed from service because of their perceived sexual orientation. . ."

Of course he did.
It's all the sex they get.
You guys don’t see what Kerry just did.
He opened up the Trump State Department to hundreds of frivolous lawsuits.
Drain the State Dept of fags. Been a problem for decades.
Washington, D.C., police arrested Offie in 1943 and charged him with "disorderly conduct."He had solicited an undercover police officer in Lafayette Park across from the White House. With the knowledge of Secretary of State Cordell Hull, the State Department provided Offie with a cover story in the form of a note asserting that Offie had planned a rendezvous with a confidential source as part of his official duties.
I’d like to see Foggy Bottom apologize for discriminating against anyone with a three digit IQ.
They were and continue to be, security risks.
Just as they were in my former place of work.

Fairies and Communists

There used to be a time when it looked like the Communists were taking over show business. Now it’s fairies. They operate a lot alike, actually; both have a tendency to colonize. Just as there used to be no such thing as one Communist in a play or movie, now there is no such thing as one fairy. Where you find one, you usually find a baker’s dozen swishing around. I had a little game I used to play when I was an actor in Hollywood, back in the days when Communists or Communist sympathizers were nearly as plentiful in the film capital as yes-men. If I spotted someone in a picture who was a Communist or leftist, I could usually pick out several others. They always came in sets. Now I play it a different way. When I hear that some fairy is producing or directing or acting in a play, I can often name some of the rest of the cast, even if I’ve never heard it. But Communists and fairies do differ in some respects. The Hollywood Communists had their “Unfriendly Ten,” who refused to testify before a Congressional Committee, but the fairies are overfriendly. They do say no occasionally. “When a fairy says no,” Alex King has observed, “he almost throws his back out of joint.” The poor darlings, as they sometimes call themselves, are everywhere in show business. The theater is infested with them and it’s beginning to show the effects. “The New York theater is dying,” the late Ernie Kovacs complained recently, “Killed by limp wrists.”...
I first noticed the widespread prevalence of homosexuality in Hollywood, which boasted a Fairyland long before it had a Disneyland. Fresh out of the Army, and rather naive, it became as quite a shock to discover that some of Hollywood’s biggest he-man stars were actually more interested in each other than in the glamorous actresses they made love to before the cameras. One virile looking Western star was such a gay Caballero that he had to be restrained from riding side saddle. Another gorgeous hunk of man, whom millions of girls sighed over, had his voice dubbed by another actor to disguise its girlish quality. Other male stars, known as AC-DC types, are ambidextrous and can’t decide what to do when confronted by “His” and “Hers” towels. In New York they are prominent in all of the arts. They cavort in ballet. They flutter on the Broadway stage. And they are everywhere in television. Wherever there is one you will find others. They are highly organized and indefatigable at assisting each other...
And Manning used that to steal classified documents and wage a media war against the US military because he couldn’t be a proud faggot so he decided to be a treasonous a-hole instead.
HOMOSEXUALS have taken over our ENTURE GOVERNMENT!!
Like the racist blacks the gay crowd is using thier persuasion to accuse, extort and attack. Why is potato face still relevant?
heh - NOT!
Now clean out your desk.
Timing is suspicious - probably trying to get some queer ball rolling and expecting Trump to feel obligated to keep it rolling....
2% of the population are sure wanting to run the world. Ambassadors, CEOs, board of directors, etc. etc...
Drain the State Department of fifth columnist subversives, it has been a problem since the so-called “witchhunt” and they are still there in government, academia, and big media.
If these crooks in the Obama administration had tried all of this “progressive” (communist goal) crap in the run up to election day, Hitlery would NOT have ‘won’ the populist vote, even with her stuffed ballots.
He’s a lame duck dictator and needs to get the hell out of the House. He was already a fixture in Bush’s White House 8 years ago trying to get a jump on his own term.
When the Gaystapo shakes the leash, groveling demoralcrats better obey.
