Openly Gay Leo Varadkar Makes History in Ireland
Post submitted by Saurav Jung Thapa, former Associate Director, HRC Global
Update June 14, Leo Varadkar has taken over as Ireland's new taoiseach, or prime minister, after a parliamentary vote today. He has appointed his rival Simon Coveney from the judgment Fine Gael party as his deputy. Varadkar is perceived as a liberal leader because of his youth, sexuality and mixed ethnicity, even though his party is center-right in its political orientation.
Leo Varadkar made history today when he was elected as the leader of Okay Gael, the largest party in Ireland's ruling coalition. This positions him to be the first openly gay Taoiseach, or prime minister. He will be Ireland’s first openly gay brain of government and, at age 38, the youngest-ever to assume the position.
Varadkar will be the fourth-ever openly LGBTQ head of government in the world and the second one currently in power, alongside Luxembourg’s prime minister Xavier Bettel.

In the final year of my counselling studies, I wrote a dissertation called:
&#;Coming Out or Staying In?: The Persona & Shadow of Being Gay, and its Relevance to Psychotherapy in New Ireland.&#;
This work sought to route the concepts of Persona and Shadow, as put forward by Carl Jung, onto the lived experience of being a lgbtq+ man or lesbian in current Ireland.
The Persona can be seen as a mask that we wear to navigate through population and interpersonal relationships, while the Shadow is like a personal backroom full of things that we would rather most people not see. For me there were many parallels here with the experience of being lgbtq+, so, inspired by people enjoy Panti Bliss and Ursula Halligan, I decided to explore further. With the Marriage Equality referendum of May as its backdrop, the piece examined concepts such as internalised homophobia, &#;passing&#; as straight and coming out, from an Irish perspective.
Some months later, I was honoured to comprehend that my work had been selected to receive PCI College&#;s annual Martin Kitterick Award for academic excellence f
Fellow blogger Dr. Stephen A. Diamond objects (here) to my recent post titled "Why Freud and Jung Broke Up," calling it "an overly simplistic and fundamentally flawed Freudian interpretation" revolving around "repressed" homosexuality. That's a pretty thorough indictment, to say the least! I think my relative terseness at the time made what I said sound a bit too strident. Let me elaborate some, but with the following proviso: walls of books have been written on this topic, so it is unfeasible in the space and time allowed to carry out any more than recognize a few of the most important threads of what is a massively complex and overdetermined discussion.
What I wrote was this: that Freud and Jung "broke up" because of homosexual feelings that destabilized their relationship in ways they could not deal with effectively. Freud was crystal clear on this. He proclaimed it openly in a letter, as I already described. Jung is quite a bit more dilatory in his self-analysis, but no less explicit. Here are the relevant portions. "I acknowledge this to you with a struggle," writes Jung. "I have a boun
