This may interest some of you. I don't follow this thread; maybe it's been posted already. Apparently, Bush would not knowingly appoint a homosexual as a department head or ambassador (a "practicing" one; I wonder if he would appoint a homosexual who had finally gotten it right?) My interpretation of that is that he would exclude from consideration for promotion to department head a person who was known to be gay. ...On the issue of gay rights, Armstrong asked the governor whether he thought it was OK for an ambassador and department heads to be openly homosexual. Bush told the group he would not ?knowingly? appoint a practicing homosexual as an ambassador or department head, but neither would he dismiss anyone who was discovered to be a homosexual after being named to a position. The impression Armstrong received was that as long as someone kept his or her sexual preferences private and did not promote them to influence policy, Bush could live with such an arrangement. texnews.com
