Ex-porn Actor To Be Appointed Colombian Minister

A former porn actor and gay rights activist is set to be appointed as Colombia’s new equality minister.

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, AFP reported.

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