Or is it Britain’s youngest mayor is gay? Well, his name is Ian Campbell, of the Labour party, and he beat his Conservative opponent by 15 votes to become district councilor in Retford, Nottinghamshire, where the council then voted him to be this year’s mayor. Last year he won Nottingham’s Young Person of the Year Award for his work tackling school bullying, so that’s good.

From the article:
“Campbell rose to prominence as a gay rights activist after being thrown out of his family home for coming out.”
Just thought it was relevant.
