A world 1st: 2 openly gay men
become Prime Minister & deputy PM
Some people say the world is coming to an
end...and maybe it is! Lol. For the first time in
history, a country will have an openly gay man as
both its Prime Minister and its Deputy Prime
Minister. On Wednesday December 4th, openly
gay talk show host, Xavier Bettel (pictured left)
was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Luxemburg,
while another openly gay man, Etienne Schneider,
(pictured right) was made his deputy, making
Luxemburg the first county in the world with gay
men filling the top two spots in its government
"People do not consider the fact of whether
someone is gay or not. Sometimes it’s not
easy because you have some conservative
persons, but there are always less and less
and less. I think people vote for my
character and they vote for my full party.”
Bettel said
And guess the first thing he's doing? Gay
weddings. Hehe
“Gay weddings will be done soon. At the
moment in Luxembourg, we have to change
the situation of marriage, religion and
divorce laws. But I don’t think it’ll be in the
next five years – it’ll be next year.” Prime
Minister Bettel promised.
