Duh

Yesterday I asked rhetorically how long it would be before a gay man or lesbian would lead a country, and my buddy Bette correctly pointed out that it would be -9 months. In other words, February of this year:

As of February 1 of this year: Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, openly lesbian prime minister of Iceland.

Also noteworthy, Germany's new foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, is openly gay. He is head of Germany's Free Democratic Party, which has a libertarian platform.

Bravo, Bette. :-) More on the Sigurðardóttir story here.
