Clinton Gives Hope to US Gay Diplomats
.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised gay diplomats to work toward securing better rights and benefits for them and their partners.
.
During a meeting with State Department employees, Mrs. Clinton pledged to look for ways to provide "training, benefits and protections" to same-sex partners.
.
"This is an issue of real concern to me.
Even though all of our personnel share the same service requirements, the partners in same-sex relationships are not offered the same training, the same benefits and the same protections that other family members receive when you serve abroad."
