Lima nightclub shutdown for discriminating against transgender woman
(Photo: Andina)
On Thursday the Municipality of Miraflores announced it would temporarily shut down Gotica, a nightclub in Larcomar, for discriminating against Godfrey Arbulu, a transgender woman.
According to Andina, Arbulu tried to enter Gotica last April 27, and was told by security personnel that she could only enter if she paid 200 soles - far above the normal rate – even though she was on the guest list. The incident was caught on video by Arbulu’s friend.
The Municipality ordered the nightclub to close for 7 days, and pay a 1,825 soles fine, after it evaluated Arbulu’s video, and testimony.
According to El Comercio, the country’s Ombudsman’s Office also criticized Gotica’s practices.
This is the second time one of Larcomar’s facilities is temporarily closed due to charges of discrimination. Last December the Municipality of Miraflores closed the UVK movie theater for seven days, for engaging in discriminatory practices.

jellybornagain asked: to the anon asking about fluid sexuality, would homoflexible be the word..??
homoflexible seems to be commonly used for people who are mainly attracted to the same gender but are attracted to others at times, so i’m not really sure if it’s the best fit! maybe we need to make a new word.

Anonymous asked: Is there a term similar to 'genderfluid', but referring to sexuality?
I know of some people using the terms ‘fluid’ or ‘sexual fluidity’ to refer to a changing sexuality.

I didn’t even know gay people couldn’t get married. Wow. That’s so stupid. I’d be sad if I couldn’t marry the person I love.

My friend and I put this on the door to her bathroom. It’s the first sign from the Westborough Baptist Church. Sometimes its better to laugh than cry about that sort of thing.
