Unequal Treatment at the State Department - The Board - Editorials - Opinion - New York Times Blog
A friend emailed me the farewell address of former US Ambassador to Romania Mike Guest:

Nice to see the NYT editorial board supporting Mike and his protest of USG/State Department discrimination against gay employees and their partners. I served with Mike in Moscow in the late 1980s. He was an outstanding diplomat and colleague. I am proud to have known and served with him.
Of course, this whole mess is due to the fact that our country discriminates blatantly against homosexuals by not letting them marry. It's ridiculous that in the 21st Century we still have to deal with this issue. Government should not be in the business of denying people rights but protecting them...
