Max: Iceland Sees America's Bet and Raises

Iceland may soon have world's first openly gay PM

Foreign Minister and chairwoman of the Social Democrats Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir proposed that Sigurdardóttir replace Geir H. Haarde, chairman of the Independence Party, as prime minister yesterday, Fréttabladid reports.

...

If Sigurdardóttir does become prime minister, she will be the first woman to serve as prime minister in the country’s history and also the first openly gay prime minister in the world.

That's pretty awesome. Hope it happens for Iceland. I think it'll be a very, very long time before the US has a(n) (openly) gay person in office.
