We get that you do not want gays subjected to the death penalty in other nations.  The issue here is the US wanting to maintain sovereignty when it comes to our own death penalty laws.  Its about our rights as a nation and not about what happens in other nations.  FYI:  the US ambassador represents the US (not the LBGT community) and some of us do not feel the same way about gay rights in the US or abroad as you do.
