Ahn Sang-soo (Korean: 안상수; Hanja: 安相洙; RR: An Sangsu; born 28 May 1946) is a South Korean politician of the People Power Party who served as two-time mayor of Incheon from 2002 to 2010. In the 2010 local elections he lost his position to Song Young-gil of the Democratic Party.[1] He was a candidate for the Saenuri nomination in the 2012 presidential elections.[2] As mayor, Ahn was responsible for initiating a range of expensive construction projects which have been implicated in causing financial difficulties.[3]
On November 22, 2019, while serving in the National Assembly representing the opposition Liberty Korea party, he introduced an amendment to remove homophobia and transphobia from a list of violations of an anti-discrimination law.[4] He used a poster that compared homosexual marriage to a picture of a woman marrying a dog.[5]
