Ireland’s minister for health Leo Varadkar coming out yesterday caused a healthy dose of “so what?” and “can you still fix the health system?” from Twitter users in the country.

However, Senator Fidelma Healy-Eames raised some eyebrows with her of use of the hashtag #sexualorientation in her tweet of support to Leo. Soon afterwards the hastag was trending in Ireland as locals reacted in humor to the awkward phrase.

#Leo Varadkar has shown a lot of courage to come out. I wish him luck. #sexualorientation
