Iceland, dix point!
1980, the people of Iceland chose the first female president. Now, after Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson had to step down after the country’s financial collapse, their new prime minister is Johanna Sigurdardottir. Yes, she is a woman, but she is also the first openly gay head of state in the whole world.
And we love it!
Go PM Sigurdardottir!

Just a small correction: She’s the new prime minister, ORG is still the president.
