This is so expected. First, the “gay pride” flag was flown over the U.S. Embassy in Madrid. Then it was Israel’s turn to hoist the rainbow ensign over the embassy in Tel Aviv. Now, Secretary of State John Kerry will appoint an LGBT special envoy.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said US Secretary of State John Kerry would “soon” make the appointment.Resume qualifications for this position: be openly gay. It’s not like there’s any discrimination going on here. There’s no irony at all that the State Department will require a particular gender preference combination for a job, but if a job posting ever said “heteronormative pale penis people only”, a hurricane of Title VII lawsuits would proceed from the liberal camp. Maybe Jesse Ventura or Chuck Norris should apply for the position, and when denied on the basis of “not being gay”, hit State with a discrimination lawsuit.“It will be an openly gay foreign service officer. We don’t have a finalized name yet. But we will announce soon,” Harf said.
When The Times of Israel asked Ms. Harf* what, specifically, an LGBT envoy would do, in relation to, say, the same-sex marriage referendum on the ballot for Valentine’s Day in Slovakia, she delivered this non-sequitur: “The US doesn’t take a position on the issue of same-sex marriage in other countries.” I’d laugh if my palm wasn’t over my face.
Message to the world from the Obama administration: burn, kill, and behead your enemies all you like; oppress the weak, take their land and displace them; steal and pillage with impunity. But don’t mess with gay rights or climate change, because those are our President’s strategic imperatives.
*Marie Harf is Jen Psaki’s assistant at State, a woman who Rush Limbaugh called “indescribable”. Quoting Rush:
This woman is Julia from that ad that they ran in the 2012 campaign. I mean, this woman has been, from the moment of birth, she has been saturated in modern-day progressivism, leftism. It just reeks, it's so obvious. And part and parcel of that means that she had no idea what she's doing, but thinks that she's the smartest person in the room.
It is joked in the story, that some conservatives should sue over this.
I AGREE COMPLETELY.
This is legally, a blatant double-standard.
Sue. Sue. Sue.
More discrimination against normal healthy people so the homosexuals can have a job based on their sexual perversions
Exactly sue them like they like to sue bakers etc.
Use their NAZI tactics against them and see how they like it.
The Fraud’s gay czar....
So we will paying an official sexual deviant in order to promote sexual deviancy around the world? And we wonder why so many more counties have come to hate us during this administration.
Hello, the last one you let get tortured and murdered in Benghazi................
I’d like to read the job description. BTW, what is the pay range?
Only goers need apply.
In Hollywood, what with the pinklisting and the casting couch, there is a thing known as going “gay for pay”.
How does the applicant prove his bona fides?
Saul Alinsky sez force them to play by THEIR rules.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
What country is LGBT? Envoys go to a country. The only possible motive for this is to promote non-normal sex throughout the world.
I wonder if the envoy will be going to saudi arabia or somalia to preach the gospel of LGBT?
One of our Legal Eagles should file an EEOC Complaint.
It is against both Law and Presidential Executive Order for the Federal Government to hire for ANY position based on Sexual Orientation!!
Civil Service Reform Act
The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA), as amended, also protects federal government applicants and employees from discrimination in personnel actions (see “Prohibited Personnel Practices” http://www.opm.gov/ovrsight/proidx.asp) based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, political affiliation, or on conduct which does not adversely affect the performance of the applicant or employee — which can include sexual orientation or transgender (gender identity) status. The Office of Special Counsel (OSC), www.osc.gov, and the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), www.mspb.gov, enforce the prohibitions against federal employment discrimination codified in the CSRA. For more information, see OPM’s Addressing Sexual Orientation Discrimination in Federal Civilian Employment at www.opm.gov/er/address2/guide01.htm, OPM’s Guidance Regarding the Employment of Transgender Individuals in the Federal Workplace at www.opm.gov/diversity/Transgender/Guidance.asp, and OSC’s Prohibited Personnel Practices and How to File a Complaint at http://www.osc.gov/ppp.htm.
Executive Orders
Additionally, federal agencies retain procedures for making complaints of discrimination on any bases prohibited by Executive Orders reviewed below. For example, some lesbian, gay, and bisexual employees may file complaints under both the agency’s Executive Order complaint process (for sexual orientation discrimination) and 1614 process (for sex discrimination), as these are separate processes.
Executive Order 11478, section 1 (as amended by Executive Orders 13087 and 13152) provides:
It is the policy of the government of the United States to provide equal opportunity in federal employment for all persons, to prohibit discrimination in employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, age, sexual orientation or status as a parent, and to promote the full realization of equal employment opportunity through a continuing affirmative program in each executive department and agency. This policy of equal opportunity applies to and must be an integral part of every aspect of personnel policy and practice in the employment, development, advancement, and treatment of civilian employees of the federal government, to the extent permitted by law.
Ram it down their PC Throats!!!
A traitor hiring perverts to help him continue his treason. Swell...
I hope that whoever inhabits this post, and their short-termed replacements, all meet in short time, that human who would be the ‘anti-matter’, to their ‘matter’, with the foregone conclusion of such a meeting.
I think for the first mission of this envoy, he should be sent to the “Islamic State” to negotiate...
I may be wrong but can’t the host nation refuse to receive an envoy?
I would hope that they do refuse and fire off a heated letter to Mr. Soetoro about how they are offended by his choice of envoys.
