Israeli group welcomes queer ambassador
The Political Council for Gay Rights in Israel has sent an official letter to Denmark's Embassy in Israel, welcoming Carsten Damsgaard, the new ambassador to Israel. Damsgaard is gay. The letter not only welcomes the new ambassador, but also praised the Danish government and the Danish Foreign Ministry for appointing a queer man to the position. "We are aware of the fact that some circles in your country have expressed dissatisfaction over this appointment. We wish to back you on this wise and courageous decision. We are confident that Mr. Carsten Damsgaard will do an excellent job, as well as we are sure that the people of Israel will warmly welcome the new ambassador, as all other ambassadors before him," writes the council.
