I remember when the first homosexual flag flew over our embassy at Tel Aviv.

The effect on the locals was palpable.

Here, instead of the Stars and Stripes, was a new symbol representing who we were,

what we really stood for.

In Israel that was a shock.

I think it also made all the gay Tel Aviv guys blush.

It was like finding out your best friend and most relied-upon ally ha late-stage AIDS.

I flipped the bird at the US Embassy in Warsaw when I saw them flying the gay flag.
