If people weren't really sure of Wally Brewster purpose here in the DR they should be now; the Embassy just released an official video supporting homosexual causes in the country in spite of the fact that Brewster claimed he wasn't coming to the DR to promote homosexuality, even though that is why he won the ambassador's post in the first place.
As many have noticed, Dominicans are generally tolerant, no doubt to their Catholic heritage. Nonetheless, tolerance shouldn't be mistaken for acceptance of anything and everything but rather a willingness to let people live their lives the way they want. On the other hand, the gay movement as seen in the US is more than about just tolerance and acceptance because it involves the inevitable confusion of young children and worse classification of said as homosexual even before the are sexual mature, which goes against established science. Dominicans know this and are rightly upset.
