That Gay Politician in Quebec Calls It Quits

October 17, 2007

Openly Gay Politician

André Boisclair, the former leader of the Parti Québécois, has announced that he will leave politics on November 15th.

And the Nod-o-th’-day award goes to The Globe and Mail for reporting on this story without using the phrase “openly gay.” (Something I clearly can’t resist.)
