Grenell does NOT wear his GAYNESS on his sleeve....he;s pretty damn conservative!
We wrongly assume because some guys (mostly gay men) are smart, savvy in geopolitics and have great social skills, they are great representatives for America.
That is not the only thing that matters in many, many cultures.
Gay men usually take a gay partner to the foreign country and cohabit with their partners, others pursue a social and love life in other cultures, many times in countries that frown on those activities with their own populations.
The last thing the U.S. needs trying to pursue optimum relations and tossing the gay lifestyles into the mix is the last thing the U.S. needs.
