Finland appointed a homosexual lobbyist as its new foreign minister on April 1, replacing former minister Ilkka Kanerva.
Alexander Stubb, who served as a Member of European Parliament for Finland, was chosen to replace Kanerva following a scandal in which the media revealed over 200 sexually suggestive text messages Kanerva sent to a stripper.
Stubb, who turned 40 the day he was nominated for the position of foreign minister by Finland's National Coalition Party, Kokoomus, has served as a MEP since 2004. He is the vice-president of the European Parliament's Gay and Lesbian rights intergroup, a lobbyist body that ensures the goals of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals are implemented in the decisions made by EU institutions.
"The intergroup is thrilled for Alexander and sends him our warmest greetings," said British MEP Michael Cashman, President of the intergroup. "It has been a great pleasure working with Alexander. Finland has made a great choice."
Stubb will be sworn in on April 4.
