WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House on Friday named Jeremy Bernard to serve as social secretary to President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama, the first male and first openly gay person to hold the position.

The high profile job, traditionally filled by a woman, will put Bernard in ultimate charge of dispensing sumptuous White House hospitality at events from state dinners to holiday parties, concerts and tours of the presidential mansion.

"Jeremy shares our vision for the White House as the People's House, one that celebrates our history and culture in dynamic and inclusive ways," Obama said in a statement.

"We look forward to Jeremy continuing to showcase America's arts and culture to our nation and the world through the many events at the White House," Obama said.

Bernard, a long-time Obama supporter and fundraiser, has been serving as special advisor to the US ambassador to France at the US embassy in Paris.

...

"I have long admired the arts and education programs that have become hallmarks of the Obama White House and I am eager to continue these efforts in the years ahead."

A Texan, Bernard has been a prominent campaigner, fundraiser and administrator for national arts and education interests and also key lesbian and gay political causes.

That said, gay men do throw some posh parties - they do have great elan

In your appreciation of gay guys, you used "do" twice.

I'm just sayin'....

Sooo...we have several hundred people stuck in a war zone in Libya, Egypt imploding, Iran shooting demonstrators in the street, pirates murdering American yachters, our troops getting shot in Afghanistan, and the big news in DC is...a new White House social secretary? I don't give a rat's rump if he's gay or a freakin' two-headed Martian, a SOCIAL SECRETARY?!?

If this isn't the most self-absorbed, superficial, frivolous, and incompetent administration in the entire history of the United States I'd like to hear a nominee for a worse one.
