Indian-origin minister may become first openly-gay Irish PM
Indian-origin Irish Welfare Minister Leo Varadkar is leading the race to become Ireland's first homosexual Prime Minister in elections in early June, according to reports. Varadkar revealed that he was gay after Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage through popular vote. Varadkar is campaigning on same-sex marriage and the liberalisation of abortion laws.
