Ex-porn actor to be Colombian equality minister

POLITICS 01.08.2025

A former porn actor and gay rights activist will be Colombia's new equality minister, a government source told AFP Friday.

Text size:

Juan Carlos Florian is to be named to the cabinet, an official said, in a move sure to spark debate in the deeply Catholic nation.

Florian, who was a sex worker and creator of gay porn, will head up a department that guarantees vulnerable communities get access to social programs.

He has already served as a junior minister and worked in various international organizations.

More than 50 ministers have passed through leftist Gustavo Petro's cabinet since he took office three years ago.
