Canada has a new prime minister.
Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party won yesterday’s highly anticipated election, beating incumbent Stephen Harper, a member of the Conservative Party and Tom Mulcair of the leftist New Democratic Party, reports The Advocate.
Not only does Trudeau have a famous namehttps://lgbtweekly.jeffjungblut.com/wp-admin/post-new.php (he is the son of the late Pierre Trudeau, who was prime minister from 1968 to 1984) but he is also recognized for his pro-LGBT views.
“We’re celebrating 10 years of taking the decision the Supreme Court in the U.S. just took,” Trudeau said during an interview with Canada’s Global News at Toronto Pride this year, shortly after the U.S. marriage equality decision. “It’s a great day for freedom. It’s wonderful to see political leaders, celebrating this.”
