Didn't realize he was the first openly gay EU leader. Good to see progression.
President, specifically. The prime minister of Ireland is also openly gay (I think he has a husband), and Elio di Rupo was the first openly gay prime minister in the EU, Belgium to be specific.
Europe still has one foot in the old world, like being stuck in a bit of marsh and trying to wriggle free from it.. But yeah, shit takes time - apparently.
