Original Note:
Pete Buttigieg is indeed the first openly gay cabinet member *to be confirmed by the Senate.* Ric Grenell, Director of Natl Security under Trump, is thought to be the first openly gay cabinet member, but was not nominated to the post full-time, nor confirmed by the Senate. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-dni/trumps-acting-intelligence-chief-grenell-says-wont-be-tapped-for-permanent-post-idUSKBN20E28U https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/19/us/politics/dni-national-intelligence-director-grenell.html
