      The Netherlands is set to get its first openly gay prime minister, Rob Jetten, following strong results in the country’s recent election, which saw his party gain 17 seats, and Geert Wilders’ far-right party lose 11.

      Jetten, who is the leader of the Democrats 66 (D66), hasn’t made his sexuality a focus of his campaign, instead emphasising his mission for positive change. 

      Following his party’s strong performance in the election on Wednesday (29 October), the 38-year-old is set to become the Netherlands’ youngest and first openly gay prime minister

      Guess what. German far right AFD candidate for chancellor Alice Weidel is gay.

      Is being gay that much of a novel thing in 2025? Especially in the Netherlands?

      The only people who seem to worry about where politicians stick their parts in are the Americans.

    5. I just want to point out that he didn’t win because he’s gay but because he’s a very well spoken politician with experience. This is the way for center and left parties to follow.

      On a total side note: I like how *gay* still seems to mean *not conservative nor reactionary*.

      Let’s not forget the seemingly growing group of gay conservatives with prominent members like Peter Thiel.

      Even if a gay PM might enrage the far-right, they aren’t mutually exclusive in reality, so it’s a shit headline.

      This is irrelevant, as gay people have equal rights and they are not oppressed by any meaning in Netherlands. So his political decisions have nothing with his sexuality.

      If that was Saudi Arabia or Russia, the case would be different. But in Netherlands if he is gay does not matter.

      It doesn’t matter if he is gay, what matters is his professionalism
