God only knows how many of these idiots have infiltrated the state department:
U.S. Ambassador: ‘As an American, I Have to Support Gay Marriage All Over the World’
Quote:Quote:
The Obama-appointed ambassador to Romania, Hans Klemm, has stoked a national debate on the role of U.S. diplomacy abroad by openly advocating same-sex marriage as the country deliberates over a proposed constitutional amendment affirming traditional marriage.
Last month, Klemm attended a widely publicized Gay Pride march in Bucharest on May 20 to show his support for the LGBT agenda in a country where same-sex marriage is still illegal. Klemm Joined the 500 marchers who met to demand “equal rights and visibility for the LGBT community” in the event organized by Respect, Romania’s premier LGBT national lobby group.
A proposed referendum would enshrine the traditional understanding of marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the national constitution.
Last fall, Klemm explained in an interview with a Romanian news agency why he publicly pushes for gay marriage.
While acknowledging that it is a “sensitive subject,” Klemm claimed that the U.S. Supreme Court had “resolved the legal problem over gay marriage, stating that it is unconstitutional and illegal to deny civil marriage to same-sex couples.”
“Therefore, the U.S. should support gay marriage everywhere in the world,” Klemm stated.
Klemm’s overt advocacy of gay marriage has met with backlash in the conservative country, and the ambassador has been criticized for abusing his position to meddle in the internal affairs of the nation. One of the most celebrated journalists in Romania, Ion Cristoiu, the founder of the country’s most important daily newspaper, has publicly accused Klemm of being “not the ambassador of the USA but of Hillary Clinton.”
The journalist said that Klemm has used his influential position to promote attitudes against President Donald Trump in Romania despite the fact that most Romanians in USA are Trump supporters.
“I’ve never met a more talkative ambassador of a foreign power,” Cristoiu wrote. “Since he arrived in Bucharest, Hans Klemm has not closed his mouth. He speaks about everything, at any time and in any place. He has also violated diplomatic norms and commonsense rules by speaking about strictly internal issues of Romania.”
In March 2015, President Barack Obama announced Klemm’s appointment as U.S. Ambassador to Romania and in September of that year, Klemm assumed the duties of his new post.
(...)
Meanwhile, Obama-era diplomats around the world are still marching to the orders given by their former commander-in-chief.
It remains to be seen whether President Trump will encourage officials from the State Department to continue to actively agitate for the LGBT agenda abroad, or whether he will instead encourage restraint and greater respect for national sovereignty, faith, and traditions.
Unbelievable, that moron should read his job description.
I mean look at that logic again:

Seriously, what the fuck.
There's ten thousands of young Americans currently studying for a career in the diplomatic service, getting willingly exploited in unpaid internships, dreaming and working hard to become a diplomat one day.
And then this guy, this amateur, who despite his education and long service apparently has no idea what an ambassador is supposed to to and what not, who believes his position is a carte blanche to proselytize and blurt out his degenerate private opinions to a whole nation and people while representing the United States, who openly agitates against the current administration he is supposed to be serving, this guy gets a top job.
Thanks, Obama.
Trump needs to clean up the state department, it has become a globalist, marxist stronghold.
Let's try and introduce some meritocracy to the foreign service, why not just give some young and talented people top positions and break up the entrenched hierarchies in that bureaucratic behemoth.
They can't possibly perform worse.
