The Netherlands is set to get its first openly gay prime minister, Rob Jetten, following strong results in the country's recent election, which saw his party gain 17 seats, and Geert Wilders' far-right party lose 11.
The fact that the far right candidate was standing up to LGBTQ+ rights speaks louder than anything to me. I already loved NL, and this just cements it.
Shame I’m an entire ocean away or I’d be there all the time.

If you’re talking Wilders, he only cares about homophobia when it involves Muslims
Still wildly different than here where people just campaign on hatred and get people to vote for them.
What do you mean standing up to LGBTQ+ rights?
Defending. It says in the article what I’m referring to, since that’s all the context I have on this.
Standing up to, or standing up for?
What I’m trying to figure out because their other comment sounds like they are pro rights.
