ONTARIO, Canada – Last Saturday at the Ontario Liberal leadership convention Kathleen Wynne beat Sandra Pupatello to be elected to lead the party and become Ontario’s first female premier — and Canada’s first out LGBT premier.
BuzzFeed reported that Wynne, 59, and married to Jane Rounthwaite, said she believed her sexual orientation would not be an issue in the race or going forward.
“The province has changed, our party has changed,” she said earlier in the balloting. “I do not believe that the people of Ontario … hold that prejudice in their hearts.”
