Powell Acknowledges Homosexual Partner of Ambassador, Post Says

Secretary of State Colin Powell publicly acknowledged the homosexual partner of America’s new ambassador to Romania at a swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post’s “Reliable Source” in the Style section.

Michael E. Guest, a Foreign Service officer, won easy confirmation from the Senate in August.

“In a sign of the times, Powell publicly acknowledged Guest’s partner of six years, teacher Alex Nevarez, who was onstage yesterday with the ambassador’s parents and plans to join Guest in Bucharest,” the Post reported.

“That small gesture spoke volumes,” said David Smith of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s leading homosexual pressure group.

“Yes, it did,” agreed Robert Knight, Director of CWA’s Culture and Family Institute. “It put the Secretary of State on record as supporting homosexuality as if it were as normal, healthy and morally sound as marriage. This means that America will be represented to the Romanian people by an openly homosexual couple. How trendy. How decadent.”

Pro-homosexual organizations such as Amnesty International are pressuring Romania to eradicate all laws banning homosexual behavior, and its public expression.

“The Bush Administration continues to send signals that it is abandoning the idea of sexual morality and embracing the immoral view that two men having sex is perfectly all right. President Bush needs to revisit this appointment and to restrain Mr. Powell’s liberal tendencies,” Knight said.

The White House on June 19 had nominated Guest, sending this description to the Senate: “As a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, he is presently the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Legislative Affairs. From 1996 to 1999, he served as Deputy Chief of Mission in Prague. Guest has held several posts in Washington including as Deputy Executive Secretary of the Department of State and Political-Military Officer in the Office of European Security and Political Affairs and has completed overseas assignments in Paris, Moscow and Hong Kong. Originally from South Carolina, he is a graduate of Furman University and received a master’s degree from the University of Virginia.”
