Oh, and she reminds me of Halle Berry, which makes me puke everytime I think of her...
Both have no brains...

Halle Berry makes you want to puke?
Not a fan of the ladies are you?

America's never had a black, female or (maybe) homosexual Head of State.
Compare that to Britain:
Britain got its first female Head of State way back in 1553 (Mary I aka Bloody Mary) and has had around 5 female Heads of State since, including Mary I's sister, Elizabeth I, and Elizabeth II.
It's also had several gay Heads of State - King James I, King Edward II (who was executed in 1327 for being gay by having a red hot poker stuck up his ass. His lover was Piers Gaveston, 1st Earl of Cornwall), Queen Anne (probably) and King Richard II. Queen Mary II was not actually Head of State - she ruled alongside her husband/cousin William III, who was - and she may not have been gay, but there have been many who say she may have been.
Although we've never has a black Head of State and probably never will whilst the Duke of Edinburgh is alive.

$1:

It's not like the populace had a choice over the gender of their monarch
If you're comparing heads of state with the US, you'd have to use Thatcher, not Mary I, as your example.
