The U.S.’ former ambassador to Romania, openly gay Michael Guest, will help launch the Council for Global Equality on Sept. 23 in Washington, D.C.
The new group plans to pressure the U.S. government to support GLBT rights worldwide, reported San Francisco’s Bay Area Reporter.
Guest was ambassador to Romania from 2001 to 2003. He was the first open gay to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate for an ambassadorship.
