Trump to nominate out gay man as German ambassador.
President Trump announced on Friday that he intends to nominate Richard Grenell, the longest-serving United States spokesman at the United Nations, to be the ambassador to Germany. If Grenell is confirmed, he would be the first openly LGBT ambassador for Trump, according to The Associated Press. Grenell held his U.N. spokesman position from 2001 to 2008, serving under four U.S. ambassadors during former President George W. Bush’s administration.
