Latvia Swears In EU's First Openly Gay Head of State

Latvia has sworn in President Edgars Rinkevics who is EU's first openly gay head of state. The 49-year-old was appointed as Latvia's Foreign Minister in 2014. In the same year, Rinkevics tweeted "I proudly announce I am gay". He has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community ever since. Interestingly, gay marriages are illegal in Latvia. However, the country's constitutional court recognised same sex relationships last year.

Well now we know why Trudeau has racked up frequent flyer miles to Latvia 🇱🇻. I have wondered why this relatively obscure country has been getting the so much attention from Trudeau and the Libs .Now we know .😂
