Celebrating over a social secretary? Sumner Wells filed the State Department with gays and served as undersecretary in the Franklin Roosevelt administration. They just weren't out of the closet back then. If you want to celebrate, wait until they appoint the first openly gay person to be secretary of defense.
Celebrating? I didn't think the heading TRIVIA . . . .forget it. I see you are in your put-down corrective mode. . . .which little becomes you. I forget often you are GOP and therefore agin, by design and plan, everything the President does.
I make my own "parties", thank-you-very-much. ho ho ho
I'm a naturally upbeat individual, usually looking for...... no, not actively looking for, seeing, yes that's better, I see the good in things without looking for it. Just comes naturally.
I guess it was my ubringing, I had naturally positive parents. Even when things were tough, and they sure were from time to time, they usually found something about the situation to laugh about and moved on. It rubbed off.
Sorry Juston,I was off subject, again. ...lol...but you guys were talking more about attitude so I just joined in.
Yes, slowly, ever so slowly, the people of this world are making progress to more liberal attitudes and freedom. Just look at the goings on in Egypt etc...... they've got some way to go for sure...but so have we in this supposedly free western society.
Equality, tolerance etc still have a long way to go, but the signs, like this one you've drawn attention to, are there and that gives us some hope that the progress is continuing, lets hope it isn't one of those dead end trails that history is littered with.
In history there have been occasions, places and societies, little pockets of liberalism where the attitude to gays was far better than it is now, in general.
Often these were dead ends as society has moved and changed, but they keep cropping up and slowly, ever so slowly, keep repeating, perhaps becoming more frequent, and growing?
How many more centuries will it be before there is no difference between female-male, male-male and fmale-female pairings? It won't be next week.

I never listen to my elders. I haven't got any.
Grumpitude is something I've avoided.
Not by design, by more by disposition I guess.
