Having lost to ultra-conservative Oscar Ivan Zuluaga in the 2014 presidential primaries, Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos finally broke his silence on LGBT rights and actively sought the LGBT vote during the last month of the campaign. Emerging a winner of the run-off election, Santos only thanked the LGBT community for their vote and support when prompted by the crowd.
