    Default WP: Obama taps first openly gay social secretary

    The White House made history in two ways Friday, when it announced Jeremy Bernard as its new social secretary -- the first man and the first openly gay person to fill that role.

    And Washingtonpost.com picked a pretty funny title for the article

    Our buddy, RD, is having a little fun. While that banner is one in a row of storylines on the splash page at the link, this is the actual article title:

    White House announces Jeremy Bernard, an openly gay man, as social secretary

    No harm, no foul.

    Isn't the White House guilty of stereotyping there?...C'mon at least put him in the Dept of Interior.

    The title on the splash page is much more suitable for a thread title I think.

    I hope we're not going to start a string of tasteless and potentially offensive, shallow, stereotypical remarks like "the dude could end up sucking in that position" or "at least now the decorations, food, and entertainment will match the events' themes"

    "The White House Social Secretary serves at the president's pleasure and is appointed by each administration."

    Perfect man for the job then.
