Bush nominates six gay appointees
San Francisco Chronicle: "Just five years ago, President Bill Clinton's decision to appoint gay San Franciscan James Hormel as an ambassador provoked an ugly, prolonged national debate. But President George Bush has quietly nominated six gay men for positions in his administration, including the recent appointment of another gay San Franciscan to a board that could play a key role in the war on terrorism -- and the nominations have been approved with comparatively little opposition." (Link snagged from Gary at Amygdala, who writes, "Good. Good for the Bush Administration, and for the Congressional Republicans who didn't continue the Neanderthal behavior they engaged in when Clinton nominated gay appointees." Agreed.)
