Ana Brnabić is still in power in Serbia. She’s the head of National Assembly, 3rd most important person in the country (according to the constitution at least).
Ana Brnabic being notably homophobic lesbian head of government.
Slovakia president Pellegrini is gay
Attal was PM in a Presidential system, he isn’t leading
Not a head of state and not a European but Israel’s head of parliament, Amir Ohana, is a gay man. Sadly he’s part of a government with a lot of religious homophobes so not much progress on that front.
Unpopular opinion: Nobody should care about the sexual orientation of political leaders and people shouldn’t make a big deal of it in celebration or otherwise.
Let’s not forget that Varadkar was against gay marraige equality until opposition parties started running a successful campaign for it, and he changed his position seeing the support.
Add Alexander the Great to Macedonia to create a shitstorm in the comments
The UK? Come on, several Kings, and Edwards?
I have a hunch about the Indian president.
I’ve never cared about what or who people love/fuck, just me?
(except for pedos, obviously.. fuck those people)
Didn’t Gabriel Attal got outed and then played the gay card ?
Ulf Kristersson of Sweden too.
If you count closeted gays you can add president of slovakia
What is that small circle in Italy?
Gabriel Attal wasn’t head of state, he was the prime Minister. In France the President is the one governing, not the prime minister.
If I had a nickel for every European microstate whose centre-right gay Prime Minister was called Xavier, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot of nickels, but it’s weird it happened twice.
Were all 9 openly gay at the time of election? Does the overall list change if you include leaders that came out as gay later?
They missed Big Gay Vlad Putin.
Edit: ah, that’s his arm waving the rainbow flag!
Lesbians have politicised homosexuality
Sigh
Why is Galicia half painted? It had a bi president? Or they governed only over La Coruña and Pontevedra?
I mean, ted heath was definitely gay, not out butttt…
Per Kristian Foss in Norway.
For a moment I thought that the darker shade of red meaned that the leader was more gay than the others from the lighter shade of red

Belgium also had a trans person as a vice prime minister
Keyword „openly“. Slovak president is allegedly also gay. But he doesn’t support laws that would help gay people to get married, not even to get civil unions.
We can do one with heads of state called Xavier
I guess it’s kinda proving that LGBTs are mostly accepted in France, because i had no clue Attal was gay. And i’ve spent quite some time protesting against the policies he tried to push forward.
Also Silvio Berlusconi and his 25% of lesbianism
