Chief of the FDP Party Deutschland is "engaged" ...

[wake.up.america]

Er ist dezent und glänzt in klassischem Gold: Ein ganz besonderer Ring ziert seit kurzem den linken Ringfinger von Guido Westerwelle (44)!

Offenbar ein ganz bewußt gesetztes Zeichen des FDP-Chefs, der seit langer Zeit mit dem Aachener Sport-Manager Michael Mronz (38) zusammenlebt.




Guido Westerwell (44) "engaged" to his long time friend.

No thunderous condemnations, no circus.

That's refreshing!

In case people missed the significance of this story.

The FDP is the pro-business tax-cutting party in German politics. Generally considered as being to the right of the Christian Democrats.

So it seems that the leader of the FDP is gay, and just got engaged to his boyfriend.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that!" :)

4. FDP is the Brazilian acronym for "Filho da Puta" (Son of a Whore)

Just sayin'.

5. Wow.

I'll remember that: that's the best short description of the FDP I've seen so far. Spot-on.

As to the significance of the story: there's none.

6. I knew you'd appreciate that tidbit of linguistic knowledge.

7. Germany's "Log Cabin Republican"

The FDP leader is gay, but cares nothing for other peoples that suffer discrimination or oppression. They advocate policies that throw people to the wolves. The only truly pro-gay party in Germany is the Party for Democratic Socialism.
