CLEVELAND President Joe Biden has tapped the most diverse cabinet in history, with half of the nominees being women and half also being from underrepresented groups.
In addition, the new president has also brought in three high level federal employees who are also sexual minorities. If confirmed, Pete Buttigieg, a gay man, will become Transportation Secretary; Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender woman, will become Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services; and Shawn Skelly, a transgender woman, is currently on the Department of Defense transition team.
