Angélica Lozano
Angélica Lozano Correa (born 7 May 1976) is a Colombian lawyer, politician and LGBTQ+ rights activist. She is the first openly bisexual legislator in the history of Colombia. While in office, she has advocated for various human rights issues. One example is the push for same-sex partnership rights. Colombia legalized same-sex partnerships in 2011, and since her election to the Chamber of Representatives in 2014 Lozano remains outspoken on increasing the rights for same-sex partners.
