Juan Carlos Florián Silva
Juan Carlos Florián Silva served as Colombia's Minister of Equality for a brief period, having assumed the role in early August 2023. His tenure was marked by controversy surrounding his identity as a 'non-hegemonic fluid gender' individual, which led to legal challenges regarding gender representation within the cabinet. Florián's past involvement in the adult film industry also generated debate over his suitability for the position. He resigned after just a month in office, coinciding with a court ruling that temporarily suspended his appointment due to alleged non-compliance with gender quota laws in government. Florián previously held the position of subdirector for LGBTI issues during Gustavo Petro's tenure as Mayor of Bogotá.
