I wonder if the elaborate state dinner would have been held if this happened before the visit to Panem... er... ah Washington DC.
I was watching C-Span last night. They showed a segment of the state dinner at the White House where the official guests were formally introduced one at a time and marched before the press corps as they crossed a room into the dining room.
I saw 3 homosexual couples announced. Can't remember most of their names though SCOTUS Justice Elena Kegan was 1 and her escort/date/guest/partner? was an attractive white female. One couple were older white men who were married, i.e., they shared the same last name and walked side-by-side as heterosexual couples do. The last couple were much younger - a black male and a white male. The Washington Post and The Washington Times provided an incomplete list of the guests and only mentioned 1 homosexual guest - NBA free-agent Jason Collins.
