David Huebner: Obama's First Openly Gay Ambassador Nominated

According to The Washington Blade, Obama is set to nominate his first openly gay ambassador -- David Huebner. Huebner is a lawyer specializing in international mediation who also serves as general counsel for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. He's expected to be nominated to serve as Obama's ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.

This is an exciting development -- and one that adds to the anticipation for Obama's major upcoming gay rights speech (some are calling it his "big gay speech") on the eve of the National Equality March.
