Hi Allister,

I think you're right, everyone has their own list of firsts that they see as important. The bisexual one is really the same as the gay one, the issue here is homophobia. The vegan one I'm not sure is as big a deal, is there a problem with discrimination against vegetarians and vegans in the states? As for pro-abortion, there may be something here, the religious right wouldn't stand for such a president ATM, so as long as they are strong that's not likely to happen. But that's more about politics than discrimination.

As for lazy politicians, we have LOADS of them here in Ireland, too many in fact, I'm sure we could spare you a few :)

Bart.
