The LGBTQ+ Victory Institute will honor Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten at its annual D.C. conference next month. Jetten in February became his country’s first openly gay prime minister. He participated in this year’s WorldPride that took place in Amsterdam. Jetten and his fiancé, Nicolás Keenan, who is an Argentine field hockey player who competed in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, last month announced they are having a child via surrogate. The Victory Institute at the conference will also honor House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), Argentine Congressman Esteban Paulón, former Cambridge (Mass.) Mayor E. Denise Simmons, and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago Commissioner Precious Brady-Davis.
