Jeremy Bernard is the 1st Gay Man appointed as the White House Social Secretary

Jeremy Bernard (the shorter one) just made history this week!
Jeremy Bernard will join the White House staff from the U.S. Embassy in Paris and replaces Julianna Smoot. Bernard, a former Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles, previously worked as the White House liaison to the National Endowment for the Humanities. As part of his role, he’ll coordinate state dinners and other White House events.

“Jeremy shares our vision for the White House as the People’s House, one that celebrates our history and culture in dynamic and inclusive ways,” President Obama said in a statement. “We look forward to Jeremy continuing to showcase America’s arts and culture to our nation and the world through the many events at the White House.”

Bernard said he was “deeply humbled to join the White House staff as social secretary and support President Obama and the first lady in this role.”

Good luck, Jeremy! Oh, and make sure you are double checking invitations and don't invite John Aravosis.
