5. Justine Greening
Justine Greening is a 47-year-old politician in England. She recently revealed that she had been in a same-sex relationship, and this makes her the very first openly-out female cabinet minister of the British Government. What makes this even more newsworthy is that Greening belongs to the Conservative party of the British Government and became the Secretary of state for Education earlier this year. Back in 2013, she made it onto the list of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the United Kingdom, as compiled byWoman’s Hour. In June 2016, Greening used Twitter to tell the world that she and her girlfriend were in a very happy relationship together. She was clever about it too, using a nice pun when she referred to the EU Membership Referendum, which considered whether or not Britain should leave the United Kingdom. Greening played it up by Tweeting: “I campaigned for Stronger In but sometimes you’re better off out!”
