Caption "Dad, Dad, Brother and Me - Sports Family": In this photo, US Treasury Secretary Scott Best with his own husband, a former New York prosecutor, and two children born to a surrogate mother. Scott Bessant is the first openly gay person in US history to serve as head of the Treasury Department, and the first LGBT person confirmed by the Senate to serve in a Republican administration. Since 2011, Basan has been officially married to John Freeman, and his appointment to the post of Secretary caused considerable resonance in the American and international press due to the contrast between his personal biography and the traditional conservative rhetoric of the Republican Party.
