From the New York Times: "Mr. Guest took Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to task for failing to treat the partners of gay and lesbian foreign service officers the same as the spouses of heterosexual officers ... 'For the past three years, I’ve urged the Secretary and her senior management team to redress policies that discriminate against gay and lesbian employees. Absolutely nothing has resulted from this. And so I’ve felt compelled to choose between obligations to my partner — who is my family — and service to my country. That anyone should have to make that choice is a stain on the Secretary’s leadership and a shame for this institution and our country.'"
