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