I believe the administration puts gays in positions deliberately to mortify their hosts

I would have used the word "insult" their hosts. I am beginning to wonder if the State Dept. has any ambassadors that are not "gay", since they seem to be the ones getting the postings. I also think he does this to predominantly Roman Catholic countries, because he hates Catholics; or, at least his actions seem to indicate that he does.

Yes, they do it to insult their hosts and try to force their agenda on the rest of the globe.

insult is a ok word to describe it too
