Gay diplomats to get equal benefits

[DesDownunder]

SECRETARY of State Hillary Clinton has promised to provide equal benefits to partners of homosexual US diplomats stationed overseas, a congressman said.

Full report (Australian) also makes the following interesting statement:

The funding bill calls on US diplomats to encourage other countries to revise laws that restrict consensual homosexual relations or limit the freedoms of gay people and groups.

I believe that Gays have had years of experience at being diplomatic:

"Oh no mum, I am not gay, but the men I sleep with are."
