Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies

Have you heard of foreign affairs? It's when people from one big country talk and work with people from another big country to make sure they get along and work together nicely.

Now, in foreign affairs agencies, just like in any big group of people, there are some people who like boys and some people who like girls. And that is perfectly okay! It's called being gay or lesbian.

But sometimes, people can be mean to other people just because they are different. And that's not okay at all. So, the people who work in foreign affairs agencies have rules to make sure that everyone is treated fairly and kindly, no matter who they love.

This means that people who are gay or lesbian can work in foreign affairs agencies too, just like anyone else. And because they are great at what they do, they can help make the world a better place for everyone, no matter who they love.
