I’m guessing this would be more historical to LGBT people. If you’re a member of a group, I think you’re more likely to be excited to hear another member of that group being appointed to office.
I feel like we’re abusing “historical” here.
Is this something of particular note that’s going to be taught to future generations?
Does the African American community know which president was the first to nominate twelve judges of color? Do women know which president was the first to nominate twelve women?
This is a good thing, but like, it’s a good fun fact at best. I think saying it’s “making history” is overstating. It’d be like saying the person who has the Guinness World Record for longest handstand is “making history.”
This is great and all, but does the 12th time you do something count as “making history”?
You’d think after two or three you’d just stop counting.
He’s the first one to ever hit 12, so uh yeah, he made history.

I feel like “making history” implies that they did something that’s gonna make it into the history books and be taught to future generations.
And like, maybe strictly, but like, which president appointed the twelfth black judge during their term? The twelfth female judge?
The first of anything, yeah, that’s in the history books. Everything past that, maybe a footnote.
A good thing for sure, but “making history”? The language feels strong to me.
When you get the 12th one in, your punch card gets filled and you get a free sandwich on your next visit.

Especially with all the anti LGBTQ laws and stuff in the US.
