GAY BOGOTÁ TRAVEL: COLOMBIA’S GAY-FRIENDLY CAPITAL

The two ma ci, Bogota and Mell, each have a large gay neighborhood—pecially Chapero Bogota where you n fd the megaclub Theatron, the largt LGBTQ+ club Lat Ameri. After our first days Cartagena and before our fal Colombian statn Mellín, we would like to show you Bogotá’s highlights our Gay Bogotá Travel Journal.

Before we are gog to tell you more about Colombia’s nightlife, we explored the gay neighborhood Chapero wh the rabow cy sign, the rabow and trans crosswalk and var shops and bars together wh our tour gui. The tour brought around the cy to five gay bars and clubs endg wh Halloween night as Theatron, the biggt LGBTQ+ and gay club South Ameri.

From glor mounta tops to Caribbean ast, om lh jungle to hip and happeng ci, Gay Colombia has credible rich for travelers to experience. Lat Ameri might not have the bt reputatn for beg gay-iendly, but that’s a story that’s startg to change and, fact, Colombia is one of Lat Ameri’s most progrsive untri terms of LGBT rights.

There’s also a boomg LGBT tourism scene centred on Mell, Bogota and Cartagena – so, far om beg somewhere to avoid, ’s somewhere gay travellers should actively seek out!

Homosexualy has been legal sce 1981 and 2011 a landmark anti-discrimatn law was passed tablishg prison sentenc for those found guilty of discrimatn. The Constutnal Court has also led multiple tim to protect the rights of homosexuals and bisexuals to exprs themselv public; for example, 2011 they orred officials of a mall and s secury firm to follow a urse teachg them not to reprs homosexuals.

The majory of people, for example, are still agast gay marriage, acrdg to a 2018 poll showg 46% Colombians support of same-sex marriage, while 52% were agast.

GAY BOGOTA 2023

Certaly, mastream media has more LGBT characters and a wir verage of the LGBT muny than ever had; as visibily creas, perhaps the stigma attached to beg gay will crease. While macho and Catholic views still have a big fluence on society, this jt means that for gay travellers they need to be aware of the suatns they’re . For travellers who want to keep their fgers on the pulse, Bogota, Mell and Cartagena are the plac where LGBT tourism is really boomg and this is where all the bt parti, events and gay scen will be.

In bigger rorts and ci acmodatn as a gay uple or sgle should not be a problem, particularly wh ternatnal hotel chas or more up-market optns. While legally there should not be discrimatn Colombia, ’s important gay travellers do not end up dangero suatns, so if they would like the eedom to stay as a uple or brg someone new back, is worth checkg beforehand that the acmodatn is gay-iendly.

People Colombia are credibly warm and welg – step to any gay club or bar and you’ll stantly have new iends happy to show you around.

Some might thk of gay hotspots like Palm Sprgs or Fire Island which for s have been havens for LGBT people lookg to pe and take a vatn wh their iends or signifint other.

Over the past , the enhancement of gay rights Colombia has meant that the once unrground LGBT+ scene has e out of the shadows and is now openly vised and advertised. It’s n by our longtime iend Sam, who several years ago moved om the US to Colombia and now is an expert everythg gay travel Colombia has to offer. Colombia is not yet the type of place where you’ll monly see gay upl affectnate public nor is the gay scene as visible and open as other Wtern untri.

The enhancement of gay rights Colombia has meant that the once unrground LGBT+ scene has e out of the shadows and is now openly vised and advertised – particularly the large ci such as Bogota and Mell, and Pri ftivals are LGBT rights protts are now held openly on a regular basis. The gay scene Colombia has historilly been more unrground, but wh jt the past 10 years, the muny has gaed more support and the visibily has creased dramatilly, particularly the large ci like Bogota and Mell.

Bogota has several betiful mms, fancy 5 star luxe hotels for affordable pric, good rtrants and an amazg nightlife, and a gay night club wh over 4000 people every weekend! I wasn't sure whether to vis, but takg to acunt s size, I was expected cent gay clubs there and to my surprise they exceed my expectatns. My mentned plac aren't exactly cheap for an average Colombian, and some like Rumours are equented by wealthier crowd, so I spect there are plac for poorer gay Colombians to go to, too, but I know nothg about them nor whether would be safe to vis them.

In addn to showg you the highlights of Bogota, Felipe also knows the gay bars and will be happy to show you them if this is your wish. He’s also a total pleasure to spend time wh, and offered me plenty of tips about stayg safe as a solo gay traveler who wanted to explore Bogota’s gay scene.

Through discsns wh bar owners and patrons and analyzg rerds om Historic Columbia, The Carola News and Reporter unvered a strange statistic: Columbia, 2022, has only those two gay bars, the lowt number the cy sce 1960. In 1983, Tony Price, a regular patron of the clubs and a gay rights activist on USC’s mp, was a play at the school’s Longstreet Theater. The first s were seen California and New York 1981, acrdg to In 1982, South Carola’s first se of what was dubbed the “gay ncer, ” bee disproportnately affected gay men, was diagnosed Charlton.

After the ial wave of fear and silence, natnal AIDS activists forced discsn of the disease – and other issu the gay muny – to the mastream. Columbia hadn’t had a gay rights movement the 1970s like bigger ci, so the activism that spng om the clubs durg the AIDS movement was the first time gay liberatn had e to the cy and state. Snipers never attacked the pri march, and the AIDS crisis didn’t kill off gay bars, but many who are still around om that perd say there was a noted change the culture of the clubs.

Other clubs opened the same buildg — at first they remaed predomantly gay clubs, Berler said, but each new eratn of the club beme more llege oriented and ls gay oriented. Other LGBTQ bars opened throughout the ’90s, but Historic Columbia’s rerds show a sharp cle the number of gay clubs startg the early 2000s.

Some who are still around om Columbia’s gay bar heyday thk there is ls mand for LGBTQ clubs bee members of the muny are more accepted society. The buildg that now serv as Midtown Fellowship Church’s downtown lotn once hoed several gay bars, cludg Rumors, which was once lled Columbia’s Stud 54.

Popular wh all typ, Viva Audorium throws monthly parti and aniz some of the biggt celebratns the cy durg Gay Pri week the first week of Calle 44, San Juan #79-75, Lrel, Mell. Most of Columbia’s LGBTQ bars are loted near the pol buildg, and there are plenty of gay-iendly hangouts loted the Five Pots neighborhood that’s close to the Universy of South Carola. For a cy the Bible belt, Columbia is pretty supportive and welg of gay culture wh plenty of hip lotns and home to a visible and active LGBTQ muny you will be happy to ll your own.

There is even a quirky gay scene Columbia, but like Manchter, Fargo, Norfolk and other mid-sized ci the Uned Stat, is rather low-key, pecially when pared to San Francis or Hoton.
