The Objective reports:
The head of the Government of Andorra, Xavier Espot, has made his homosexuality public: “I am gay and I have never hidden myself.” The statements took place during an interview on the country’s public radio, in which the Andorran leader assured that he had never spoken about his sexual orientation because he had not been asked, but that “it should not cause any inconvenience,” according to the report.
“I am delighted that I can serve young people who are in a difficult situation,” he added. Espot has also explained that he has never felt discrimination due to his sexual orientation. However, he stressed that he cannot deny that other people have experienced this type of situation for the same reason. “We have not yet reached full gender equality,” he lamented, which is why he has defended the need to promote public policies that combat LGTBI-phobia.

Espot was elected in 2019.
Andorra, one of the world’s smallest “micro-states,” has a population of 80,000, but sees an estimated 10 million tourists annually.
Three other nations currently have openly gay prime ministers: Luxembourg, Serbia, and Ireland. Latvia’s current president is openly gay.
