David Huebner confirmed as US Ambassador to New Zealand and Somoa.
#1
David Huebner will be sworn in today (4th Dec. 2009) by Vice President Joe Biden at 4:00pm, 3:45 EST in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building wing of the White House.

He becomes the first politically appointed openly gay Senate-confirmed ambassador in US history. Cool

Another step in the right direction, the next gay appointment should be the US ambassador to the vatican.

I know it will never happen as they blocked Caroline Kennedy's appointment in April this year, but would be fun to see the cardinals rant and rave over it. Laugh

Just wondering why he was sworn-in by the Vice-President? Did Obama not want pictures/footage of him appointing a gay man to public office?

No, more likely an appeasement to those who consider us all sinners Rolleyes
