One of Peru's most-popular gay bars has been shut down by Lima city officials following complaints of noise and immorality.
The bar Downtown, in the trendy Miraflores district, had incurred the wrath of the Peruvian Consumers and Users Association, which said the club routinely "compromised … public order."
Gay activists called the closure discriminatory, but Mayor Manuel Masedas noted that two straight clubs were closed at the same time, according to LivingInPeru.com.
