content: This series includes material relating to the appointment and career of Michael E. Guest, openly gay United States Ambassador to Romania, 2001-2004 during the George H. Bush presidential administration. He was dean of the Foreign Services Institute, 2004-2007 until the time he resigned from the State Department over the treatment of LGBT persons and same-sex couples.  This series includes many of the items associated with his appointment, invitations, remarks, Guest''s diplomatic passport and the accompanying Romanian identify card issued to his husband Alexander Nevarez, issued because the State Department did not recognize Nevarez as Guest's husband.  There are news clippings and an e-mail whose contents denote the negative criticism received by the Bush adminisration due to Guest's appointment.
