Luxembourg has sworn in their new Prime Minister, Xavier Bettel. Prime Minister Bettel is an openly gay politician, who previously served as Mayor of Luxembourg City.

He is Luxembourg’s first gay Prime Minister and in another first, he has appointed openly gay politician Etienne Schneider, as his deputy.

Prime Minister Bettel doesn’t believe that his sexuality influences voters, “I never made my sexuality a topic in politics for people to vote against or for,” he shared in a 2011 interview.

Prime Minister Bettel has two priorities now that he’s been sworn into office: gay marriage and to replace Bible teachings with non-religious ethics.

He promised to address gay marriage shortly, “At the moment in Luxembourg, we have to go through the situation of weddings, religion and divorce laws. But I don’t think it’ll be in the next five years – it’ll be next year.”
