Colombia’s married President Gustavo Petro has been accused of having an affair with a transgender newscaster. Surprisingly, he hasn’t denied the accusations but instead has criticized people’s transphobic reactions to the rumors.

Petro says: “Every progressive knows that human beings are equal and that the fight for that equality implies physical and mental emancipation and therefore, no one who considers themselves human can generalize transphobia in weak minds or slavery and discrimination.
