I’m guessing this would be more historical to LGBT people. If you’re a member of a group, I think you’re more likely to be excited to hear another member of that group being appointed to office.
It’s not historical to this queer, I dont care about someones sexual orientation, I care that they are able to do their job. Being LGBTQ+ is not a qualification for any job.
I feel like we’re abusing “historical” here.
Is this something of particular note that’s going to be taught to future generations?
Does the African American community know which president was the first to nominate twelve judges of color? Do women know which president was the first to nominate twelve women?
This is a good thing, but like, it’s a good fun fact at best. I think saying it’s “making history” is overstating. It’d be like saying the person who has the Guinness World Record for longest handstand is “making history.”

Especially with all the anti LGBTQ laws and stuff in the US.
