Ireland elects its first openly gay prime minister
Description
June 2, 2017
For the first time, an Irish political party has elected a young, openly gay son of an immigrant as its new leader. And Leo Varadkar, 38, is on his way to becoming Ireland's next prime minister. As Redmond Shannon reports, the fact it's happened without much fanfare is a sign of how much things have changed in the once-staunchly Catholic country.
