[Looking for Diogenes]

I've been consistent on this thread.

Yes, consistent in holding that one sin, homosexuality, matters while other sins, like fornication and adultery, don't matter. Concrete? Maybe. Arbitrary? Definitely.

Here is some of the latest guidance from the State Dept. on handling non-family 'Members of Household' (MOH):

g. COMs [Chiefs of Mission] and their staffs may include MOHs in all events officially sanctioned by post on the same basis as family members.

h. Recognizing that cultural differences may mean that an American employee's household may not necessarily mirror households in foreign countries, COMs shall work to ensure that the official American community environment is as welcoming as possible.

Thus it can be seen that Ambassador Guest was within department guidelines when he brought his partner to an embassy social event.

All of them matter. However, fornicators and adulterers aren't trying to change the fabric of society in the same manner as the homosexuals. If Bush appoints someone who openly flaunts his mistress, please flag me and I'll pick up from there.
