    Bleh.

    For years, Ireland had a gay Taoiseach. Yeah, he’s not the president and so not the head of state but he’s the one in power.

      As far as I’m concerned the real Taoiseach was the dogs.

      It’s also a question of how far back we’re willing to go.

      A number of Roman rulers had homosexual relationships, including the Emperor Trajan, the Emperor Hadrian and his lover Antinous, and the Emperor Elagabalus.

      …I guess it wasn’t technically EU.

        Also, having homosexual relationships doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re gay.

          So what does that mean then? Is there a casually sucking dick but saying “no homo” means that it’s not gay?

            Have you heard of bisexuality? Or situational bisexuality, such as the relationships that can happen in prisons? (And I’m not talking about sexual assault in the second case.)

      I think head of state refers to presidents/kings/queens depending on the type of state.

    Latvia is right next to Russia. Does this mean anyone reporting on the election of the leader of the country next door can be arrested in Russia for gay propaganda?

    Bettel has been Prime Minister of Luxembourg for years now as well.

      I think it comes down to their respective positions, as head of state versus head of government. Luxembourg’s PM is head of government, not state.

    Does Latvia already allow same-sex marriage, or will Rinkevics actually try to have it implemented?

      I don’t think anyone is saying he got the position because of his sexual position, but rather that he got it regardless of it. It’s just some uplifting news that some countries have progressed enough to the point where a (voting) majority of the population don’t mind an openly gay head of state.
