[News] Iceland:First Openly Gay Leader
The first-ever openly lesbian head of state in Europe was
appointed in Iceland on Sunday.
Following the collapse of the preceding coalition cabinet of Prime
Minister Geir Haarde amid the country's economic meltdown, Johanna
Sigurdardottir was named interim prime minister until elections
are held in May.
The 66-year-old former social affairs minister and current member
of the Social Democratic Alliance was first elected to Iceland's
parliament in 1978.
Although she is in the world's spotlight for her sexual
orientation, Icelanders are more interested in how the new prime
minister will revive the bankrupt nation's economy.
