After Iceland lost their premier, due to the economic collapse, a woman could lead the country that publicly admits she is gay.

Reuters-.--.-The politician Johanna Sigurdardottir from Iceland is specific because, after her party won at the elections, it is possible that, if she is chosen, that she becomes the first person to lead a country that has publicly admitted that she lies a person of the same gender, writes the Independent.

It is expected that Johanna Sigurdardottir, a former stewardess, will take the empty premier’s seat, because Geir Haarde, the former premier of Iceland, resigned due to the collapse of Iceland’s economy.

As people from Iceland’s cabinet say, a great number of Iceland residents did not know that she was homosexual, and that it does not bother them, because her sexual preferences are not important.

Johanna lives together with Jonina Leosdottir, who were married in a civil service in 2002.

Remember, after Iceland’s national currency totally collapsed, and their financial system crumbled due to billions of dollars of foreign debt, Iceland has been seeing angry protests against the Cabinet and central bank since October. The premier then resigned, and Iceland’s president Olafur Ragnar Grimsson then sought the heads of the main left orientated parties to form a new cabinet.
