President Obama's choice of Mr. James Brewster as ambassador to the Dominican Republic is a good one.

The Dominican people will learn that homosexuality is not something to be hidden, ashamed of, or mocked.
It is a learning process and while the people of the D.R. might be a little late to the party, it is never too late to take that step into the 21st century.
Communication is, after all, at the heart of diplomacy.
The snowball rolling down the hill started off pretty small and watch it grow........

Yeah, a gay embassador is bad for DR. I never heard a single complaint when a thief son of a b!tch like Hans Hertell was appointed to that same position, or when he lobbied for Barrick Gold to do all kind of disasters in the country. Masses are stupid, there's no doubt.

Yes. It's a reference to a time when homosexuals were burned alive by the Church. They were used as kindling to stoke the fires burning more "prominent" offenders.
