GAY BOGOTA 2023

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. As wh most untri the world, there will always exist an element of homophobia, particularly ral muni around the ast.

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.

GAY (LGBT) LIFE COLOMBIA - COLOMBIA FOM

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 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. 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 .

DISVER OUR FAVOURE PLAC TO ENJOY GAY COLOMBIA OUTSI BOGOTá

Colombians ll Teatron the biggt gay club South Ameri, but I have never seen anythg of that sle London, NY or Tokyo.

This is actually the biggt gay club the world, but the crowd isn't exclively gay - lots of women and straight guys too.

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. Our send journal about our trip to one of the gay-iendlit untri Southern Ameri is about Colombia’s pal cy, Bogotá.
