| First openly GLBT head of government appointed on Iceland. |
|
I dunno if this has been posted in LBN, but Johanna Sigurdardottir has just been appointed prime minister on Iceland. She is the first female prime minister on Iceland, and is currently civil unionized with Jonina Leosdottir. As a result, she is also the first glbt politician appointed permanently as head of a government (Per Kristian Foss, former Finance Minister in Norway, was PM pro tempore for a period while then PM Kjell Magne Bondevik was on sick leave).
Just thought it was worth noting.

If things improve quickly enough with her in charge, maybe everyone will want one!
