NEW: Former 2020 presidential candidate and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg makes history as the first openly gay Cabinet member in U.S. history to be confirmed by the Senate.
Review:
Richard Grenell was the first openly gay man appointed to a Presidential Cabinet. Made by former President Donald Trump.
Review:
Pete Buttigieg is indeed the first openly gay cabinet member *to be confirmed by the Senate.* Ric Grenell, Director of Natl Security under Trump, is thought to be the first openly gay cabinet member, but was not nominated to the post full-time, nor confirmed by the Senate.
Review:
Richard Grennell was the first openly gay cabinet member. The claim that Pere Buttigieg is is not true
Review:
The first openly gay Cabinet-level appointee was Richard Grennell, appointed by President Trump.
Review:
Pete Buttigieg is NOT the first person to serve openly as a gay male cabinet member. Richard Grenell was. Pete might be the first Cabinet Secretary, but NOT the first Cabinet member. Very misleading by a major news outlet.
