Alle aktuellen und früheren Staats- und Regierungschefs "… sich vor dem Ende ihrer Amtszeit als Staatsoberhaupt oder Regierungschef eines Mitgliedsstaats der Vereinten Nationen geäußert haben."

    Insgesamt gab es neun Staats- und Regierungschefs, die sich entweder als Schwule oder Lesben identifizierten (keine andere LGBTQ-Identität wurde offen vertreten). Alle haben in den letzten 20 Jahren in Europa gedient, jeder in einem anderen Land, und alle sind noch heute am Leben. Der derzeitige Regierungschef von Andorra und der derzeitige Staatschef von Lettland sind beide offen schwul – die einzigen amtierenden Staatsoberhäupter, die sich als Mitglieder der LGBTQ-Gemeinschaft identifizieren.

      Serbia is a surprise to me. I have them pegged as a macho old fashioned nation

    3. Holland will probably have its first gay prime minister too, considering D66 was the biggest party last elections. We just have to wait until a government coalition is formed

      huh none of them are bisexual, even though bisexuals are much more common, strange, maybe because its easier to be closeted i guess

      UK might be on this list soon. Current PM is straight but there’s every possibility he’s gonna get ousted by his own party in the next year and one of the front runners to replace him is a gay dude.

      That gay dude is my least favourite politician in the party for reasons completely unrelated to his sexuality, though, so I am holding out hope it doesn’t end up being him

      OP said they all came out prior to the end of their term…

      Does that mean, once they came out, they were not re-elected? If it happens once or twice you might just think it a coincidence. But if that happened to all of these listed, then it shows how far we still are.

      iirc such cases were present even in older times – Frederick the Great had a relationship with a guy whose name i don’t recall. His father deemed it not „manly enough“ and executed Frederick’s lover right before Frederick’s own eyes.

      Or at least that’s what the internet was telling me but i can’t be sure.
