President-elect Donald Trump's efforts to make both his administration and the Republican Party more inclusive is already underway.

The Associated Press reported that Trump is expected to pick Richard Grenell as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He previously served as the Director of Communications and Public Diplomacy for U.S. Representative for the United Nations under George W. Bush.

If Trump decides to pick Grenell and the Senate confirms him, he would become the first openly gay person to fill a Cabinet-level foreign policy post.

It would mark a huge advance for gay rights. Given that homosexuality is illegal in many areas of the world, Grenell's appointment would send a strong signal of American values to foreign leaders, who jail and kill gays around the world.

Adding to his push for greater diversity is Trump's expected support for Michigan GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel to replace outgoing chair of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus. She is the niece of Trump's adversary Mitt Romney and would be the first female to lead the RNC in decades.

This strategy of showing greater diversity in his cabinet shows Trump has a much different character than the media reported on thus far.
