Biden nominates lesbian for ambassador-level post

Michael K. Lavers, Washington Blade July 8, 2021

Chantale Wong would become the first openly lesbian ambassador if confirmed as the U.S. director of the Asian Development Bank.

The White House in a July 2 press release that announced her nomination describes Wong as “a leading authority in international development policy with over 30 years of experience in the multi-disciplinary field that includes finance, technology and the environment.” The Council for Global Equality is among the organizations that have celebrated Wong’s nomination.

“We are thrilled with the nomination of Chantale Wong — our nation’s first openly lesbian ambassador to represent our country. Extraordinarily qualified and long overdue,” tweeted the Council for Global Equality.
