In the US, the idea of a female president still weirds many people out.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Iceland just married her girlfriend:

:D That's awesome! I love that she's also an older woman. For some reason I love older lesbians and bisexuals because I know that they're not doing it TO BE COOL xxx.
Y'know what else weirds me out? That it's the norm for a boy and girl to be kissing in western media but a gay couple is considered more inappropriate, and here in Australia enough to warrant a 'Mature' rating.

Yeah, I know what you mean! When you're at that age, you sop caring about being "cool." XD

And yes, it's a shame. I think in most parts of the US people still consider gay romance to be more "mature" than straight, even if they're doing the exact same thing. I don't get it.

In the Norther Water Tribe, the idea of a female water bender still weirds many people out.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Fire Nation just married her girlfriend:

There was a time where the US was at the forefront of progressiveness in the world. Over the last few decades, we've been passed by a lot of other nations.

I want to move to Iceland now!
It saddens me to think of how much of a victory it would be for us if a gay president were elected. I dream of the day when that will be as unremarkable as someone left-handed taking office.
