Sino Jack Tamley is a Vitosian politician who has served as the 25th Prime Minister of Vitosium. Born and raised in Ovavo, Maydover Island, Tamley is a law graduate from Coratino University of Law. He is heavily remembered as the first homosexual prime minister of Vitosium.
On March 4th, 2021, Prime Minister Gatostico declared that January 20th, the day that Sino Tamley was born, will be known as "Sino Tamley Day".
Personal Life
In 1937, Sino was the third child of Richard and Rosalia Tamley. He was born into heavy poverty as his parents struggled to find a job thanks to the economic crash Orvilo Calamora was trying to fix thanks to Miliano Botello's run as prime minister. Eventually, when he was eight, his father inherited a large sum of money and invested that into starting a company within the oil industry known as Tamley Oil Company. They soon found themselves rich but the other members of the Tamley family began to get violent in an attempt to gain control of the company for themselves. This inspired Sino to pursue law and, eventually, politics.
In 1962, he won the election against John Savori to become the 25th Prime Minister of Vitosium. During his run as Prime Minister, he helped the LGBTQ+ in copious ways, starting with decriminalizing same-sex sexual activity in Vitosium via legislation in 1963. While he was unable to make same-sex marriages legal during his first term, he was finally able to in his last year in office. May 22nd, 1970, marked the day that same-sex marriage was legal in Vitosium.
In 1969, he signed the Open Without Discrimination Military Act, which allowed members of the LGBTQ+ community to serve openly in the Vitosian Armed Forces.
In 1975, at the age of 38, he married Anthony J. Romio, a famous mystery author at the time, until Romio's death in 2017 at the age of 78. Together, Tamley and Romio had two surrogate children, Matthew (b. 1980) and Charlotte (b. 1984) Romio-Tamley.
Other Notable Policies
In August 1964, he signed the Humanitarian Aid Coordination Accord, which reduced income inequality and increased basic welfare.

"The government of Janapa extend their condolences to the Vitosium people and the family of former-Prime Minister Tamley. His endeavors for the civil rights movement and acceptability of LGBT rights is a historical mile-mark, not only in the history of Vitosium but in the world, at a time where it was not widely accepted. Breaking the barriers, Tamley's actions helped pave the way for other nations to eventually legalize and recognize LGBT rights. His legacy will be remembered and we are profoundly saddened by his loss."

"I'd also like to extend heartfelt condolences to the nation of Vitosium following the passing of former-Prime Minister Sino Jack Tamley.
