If Clinton was the first black president then Obama is the first gay president?

I think the honorary title is well earned.

Obama to nominate first openly gay service secretary to lead the Army

Fanning’s nomination is the latest in a series of actions taken by the administration to advance the rights of gays and lesbians throughout the federal government. The Obama administration has overhauled internal policies to provide benefits to same-sex partners, appointed gay men and lesbians to the executive branch and the federal bench and ended the 18-year ban on gays serving openly in the military.
