World's first openly gay Head of State

[Heinz Guderian]

The first government collapse of the global economic crisis is about to yield the world's first openly-gay leader. Johanna Sigurdardottir, a former air hostess, is expected to be sworn in as Iceland's Prime Minister by the end of the week.



Her moment in the international spotlight comes at the most horrendous moment in her nation's recent history. As the global meltdown began, the collapse of Iceland's grossly over-leveraged economy was followed smartly by the implosion of its banks and currency. Now its government has gone the same way, the first to succumb to the backwash from the crisis.

So what do you think? Personally, I believe it shows progress and acknowledges the massive contribution LGBT people make to society.

I wish Johanna luck.

[Justinian]

Why LOL?

I think this is good that it could happen. Iceland should be more concerned with if she can dig them out of the hole, though.

I'll admit I thought this was going to be Hillary's coming out party.

Hilary Clinton is not a Head of State. You're lol was based on a comprehension fail.

Exactly...

Still had to LOL @ the thought of Hilarity being gay.

heh, i dont really care what their sexuallity is really i mean good for them reform around the globe, a black presdent in the US just 30- 40 years after they were given civil rights and now a homosexutal is a Prime Minister.

Note: i know there have been other black leaders in history just not in the US just in case anyone wants to hit my post on that point

[Pious Agnost]

I admit, I would've voted the first option if it was one of the world's power-players. But Iceland?

Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir isn't Head of State either.

She's PRIME MINISTER, the PRESIDENT is the Head of State.

That hot MILF can be boss of whoever she wants, IMO.

[Kamos]

Meh she's ok looking.

[Zephyrus]

Let the joking of Iceland's leadership commence!

[boofhead]

First openly gay head of state? Doubt it. Look at Alexander or some of the Caesars.

Good luck to her. Whatever she does with her women's bits has little to do with how she can serve her country.

[Heinz Guderian]

Good luck to her. Whatever she does with her women's bits has little to do with how she can serve her country.

well said sir.

[Exarch]

who cares what they are so long as they get the job done

Sorry, I don't believe in accepting everything just for the sake of acceptance. There are some things people do, and some things people believe in, which are just not right.

So she lezzes it up in private? So what.......

[The Good]

While I don't believe homosexuality is right at all, if she could pull off the job of improving Iceland's economy, I'll respect her for that.
