Speaking today at the annual Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies event, Hillary Clinton stressed the importance of protecting LGBT State Department employees from danger — the danger of discrimination:
#SecClinton: Our people should not have to choose between serving the country they love and sharing a life with the people they love. #LGBT
— Department of State (@StateDept) November 28, 2012
#SecClinton: As your #SecState, creating a #LGBT-welcoming workplace isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s the smart thing to do.
— Department of State (@StateDept) November 28, 2012
#SecClinton: We need a diplomatic corps that is as diverse as the world we work in. #LGBT http://t.co/UKm9plIx

#SecClinton: When #LGBT people are persecuted, or kept from fully participating in their societies, they suffer. But so do we.
— Department of State (@StateDept) November 28, 2012
No. Discrimination is certainly unfortunate, but suffering is when men and women serving this country are left to die. What a shame that Clinton couldn’t bring herself to show this level of concern for the welfare of Ambassador Chris Stevens and his three fellow Americans butchered in Benghazi.
