The most prominent Haitian personality rumored to be Gay is the former Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis. The nomination process of former Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis was a chance and opportunity to bring the issue of homosexuality in the front burner in the country. Although Ms. Pierre-Louis became prime Minister, that was possible only after reading a public statement declaring the rumors to be false. No political parties in Haiti have endorsed LGBT or "Masisi" rights.
