Leo Varadkar, the first gay leader of Ireland, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau marched together in Montreal Pride at the weekend.
Varadkar, 38, took office as Ireland’s Taoiseach in June, becoming one of just five openly gay heads of government in recent global history.
The pair took to the streets of Montreal, Canada, to celebrate the city’s LGBT pride parade Sunday. The event marked the first time a foreign head of government or state has ever been invited to partake in the celebration.
Varadkar is one of just three out world leaders, alongside Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and Serbia’s Prime Minister Ana Brnabić. Read more via Pink News
