Ontario gets first female Premier…who also happens to a Lesbian.

Kathleen Wynne has won the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party and is set to become the province’s first female premier, after a closely fought race with Sandra Pupatello.

Wynne, the 59-year-old MPP for Don Valley West, is a long-time party member who has had several cabinet roles, including minister of transportation and minister of education.

She has vowed to bring back the legislature on Feb. 19, saying Ontarians are not looking for another election.

Wynne, who is openly gay, had earlier asked delegates in an opening speech: “Can a gay woman win?”

She now has an answer.

Throughout her leadership campaign, she vowed to represent all minorities and reinforce ties within her party. After being declared the winner Saturday evening, she brought caucus members on stage in a symbolic show of unity.

She also noted in her victory speech that, while she holds a Toronto riding, she will represent all of Ontario as premier.

I just love how much there is in this article to make some of the right wingers heads pop right off. We have a gay woman in a liberal leadership role who also works hard to rally minorities to her side. WASP super villain in the making?

For those unaware, a Premier is the Canadian equivalent of a state governor.

Also with the election of Wynne, more than half of Canada is now run by women.

What’s what I hear? More heads popping off?
