“GLIFAA was proud to host all five out gay U.S. ambassadors this past Sunday for very fruitful conversations on their experiences as personal champions for global LGBT+ human rights,” McCutcheon told the Washington Blade. “GLIFAA is proud to continue supporting these ambassadors, U.S. government foreign affairs agencies, and all of these agencies’ LGBT+ staff to advance equality for all around the world.”

Costos was I think a VP at HBO, and Brewster was a real estate developer, though he also was the LGBT outreach lead for the 2008 Obama campaign (and I think the DNC before that). I don't know why people assume ambassadors are all rich; 3/4 of them are career government employees.
