WASHINGTON -- At a State Department ceremony this week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warmly acknowledged the family members of Mark Dybul, whom she was swearing in as the nation's new global AIDS coordinator.
As first lady Laura Bush looked on, Rice singled out his partner, Jason Claire, and Claire's mother. Rice referred to her as Dybul's "mother-in-law."
And what John at Americablog predicted??? Yup.....
Rice's 'Mother-in-Law' Comment Raises Conservative Hackles

(AgapePress) - A spokesman for a family-advocacy group in Washington, DC, is expressing disgust with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's swearing in of an openly homosexual man as global AIDS coordinator -- and in particular, with comments she made at the ceremony.
Late last week, USA Today stated that the Republican Party is facing what it calls an "identity crisis" when it comes to efforts to try to please both homosexuals and conservative Christians. The report used a ceremony at the State Department to provide a very pointed example of how the GOP seems to want the support of "values voters," but are willing to appease the homosexual activist agenda.
The ceremony involved Secretary of State Rice and the swearing in of Mark Dybul, an open homosexual, as the nation's new global AIDS coordinator -- a position that carries the rank of ambassador.
I just want to point this out.
SHE WAS CIVIL!!!! Not effusive, not lovey dovey, just freakin' CIVIL!!!!! What was she supposed to do? Refuse to shake his hand? Ignore his mother-in-law?
IS THIS WHAT WE ARE REDUCED TO?
"We have to face the fact that putting a homosexual in charge of AIDS policy is a bit like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse," says Sprigg. "But even beyond that, the deferential treatment that was given not only to him but his partner and his partner's family by the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is very distressing."
I'm extra tired and cranky and just not fucking feeling good right now, and I've about had it up to my eyebrows with these holier than EVERYONE fuckers who get their Fredricks thongs in a twist
('cause you KNOW that's what they're wearing under their khakis & linen) because a government official was civil to a GAY MAN & HIS FAMILY?!?!
What the hell was she supposed to do?
The kicker?
Dybul, who was confirmed by the Senate two months ago but was just sworn in due to scheduling conflicts with Secretary Rice and Mrs. Bush, is the nation's third openly homosexual ambassador. The other two no longer hold their positions. According to news reports, in all three cases the men's homosexual partners held the Bible on which the oath of office was sworn.
