Since this seems to be LGBT immigration day -- let me just say this. They might not treat his partner like a spouse, but they do allow him to move his spouse to a foreign country and take care of all the details in terms of visas. This is 180 degrees opposite of our own country where LGBT citizens cannot sponsor foreign-born partners for immigration. I know far too many people who feel its easier to live overseas and work for State than to try to have a binational relationship in the U.S. This a very low bar I realize upon which to improve. But at least in the one incidence, foreign-based State workers have a benefit that their LGBT colleagues and fellow citizens in the U.S. do not.
