Latvia Elects A Gay President

Even Latvia is more progressive than the United States. While we could conceivably have a convict as our next President, Latvia has elected a gay man, Edgars Rinkēvičs, as President, a first for Baltic nations and the European Union, according to major media sources.

There have been out prime ministers — usually a more powerful position and head of government — in both E.U. and non-E.U. countries⁠, but Rinkēvičs, currently the country’s foreign minister, is the first out member of the LGBTQ+ community to be head of state in the E.U.

Could we trade him for Donald Trump and Joe Biden, please?
