Iceland?s lesbian minister of social affairs was expected to be chosen as the country?s caretaker prime minister later this week, making her the word?s first known openly gay head of state.

Siguroardottir, if ratified to become prime minister as expected by an interim coalition formed by the Social Democratic Alliance and other political parties, must grapple with rising unemployment and near chaos in the country?s ban ...

"The first words out of my mouth were, 'Who are you?'" she said, according to a publicity release issued Tuesday by Harpo Productions.
However, Gayle Haggard also said her husband told her early in their 30-year marriage that he "struggled ...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. AP) | Jan. 27 at 12:28 PM Jan. 27 at 12:28 PM
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel no longer wants supporters of a new law aimed at banning gays from adopting or fostering children to join a case challenging the ban.
Earlier this month, McDaniel told The Associated Press that he would welcome supporters of the ban who want to intervene in the lawsuit. But last week, his office filed objections to a request by the conservative Arkansas Family Council to intervene.
The council notes in its Jan. 16 request that McDaniel previously opposed the measure to ban unmarried couples living together from adopting or fostering children. The ban went into effect Jan. 1 after voters approved it in November. The council said McDaniel may not ma ...
