        Ireland is so forward; it's not only elected the first gay leader, it's the first openly gay leader whose so awful, you don't care he's gay.

        Nobody here is "hyped" #leovaradkar is an evil prick. He's waging war on the poor and doesn't support reproductive rights for women.

        Literally nobody in Ireland cares about his sexuality, and I agree that's a good thing. But it's legit scary to think of him running Ireland

        In some ways we are actually much more progressive than the US. For example you wouldn't get away with trying to teach creationism here.

        Also there are ways in which the homophobia and fragile masculinity of straight American men seem bizarre to us.

        A lot of weird shit is still floating around the American psyche because of the Puritan past, you see it in things like "purity balls"

        Gay/Indian is of no consequence. He is refreshingly frank, but needs to lose his narrow conservatism. He needs to jell with modern Irl.

        Are his qualifications being the son of an immigrant or being gay? Stop with the identity politics.
