Opposition to President Obama's nominee for U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic reached a fever pitch this week as religious organizers stage a "Lunes Negros" or Black Monday protest against James "Wally" Brewster.
If confirmed, Brewster will be the first openly gay ambassador to the country, a prospect that is not going over well with some segments of this conservative Christian country of 9 million people. Local reports indicate that church leaders are pressuring the government to reject Brewster's nomination and calling on the faithful to dress in black on Monday in solidarity against him.
Praise Christian Church Pastor Sauford Medrano is quoted in Diario Libre as saying that Brewster could cause "the U.S. promotion of gender beliefs in the country." That supposedly violates a general education law in the country that "all the Dominican education system is based on Christian principles."

The “in your face” attitude of this president just gets more and more brazen. I’d like to say I’m shocked....
can’t read the link
WTF is the deal with all these queer ambassadors? Apparently it’s a prerequisite.
America is sure spreading quite the message about itself these days.

“Dominican Republic “
Gee, ya THINK that appointing some homo would be a great idea.
That’s racist...oh wait, Dominicans look like Eric Holder’s people.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Reggie Love is part of the recruiting/screening process for these Ambassadors.
0bama is sabotaging our foreign policy by appointing gay ambassadors. Unfortunately, it costs them their lives. Just ask Christopher Stevens.
By the way, anyone who thinks 0bama is a heterosexual is delusional. Michelle is only his beard, and even she knows that now.
bbbb.....bbbbbu.....bbbbb.....bbbbbut only that EEEEEEEVIL Imperialist George W. Bush insulted our friends and allies and tried to push them around.
I know the country well, and I don’t think that figure is accurate. On the other hand, I don’t hire prostitutes.
The point is cultural, not moral. Even if there are whores there, that doesn’t mean that it’s ok to send a notorious madame as the ambassador. People in the Spanish Caribbean don’t like or approve of open, blatant homosexuality. To send an openly homosexual ambassador is like saying to them, “ You are not men, you are a nation of faggots, so we are sending you a faggot ambassador.”
Stupid, gratuitous insult.
Their Machismo culture does not embrace homosexuality.
Or marital fidelity for that matter.
You gotta admit having some butt-rimming queer appointed as ambassador to your country is a pretty disgusting insult.
A bath-house in every spot... (around the globe)
If all of the GOPe morons who want to buy off Latinos with an Amnesty plan understood anything about Spanish... they would realize that social issues are the way to convert these voters to the GOP.
Agreed...
ALL of Obama’s ambassador picks are financial “bundlers” who have collectively provided tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to his permanent campaign. This one just happens to be gay.
