Just as we’re celebrating one gay rights victory in South America comes this piece of news: Peru is kicking out gay cops because they “damage the image” of the force.
Only “scandalous” gay sex, and not merely being gay, will get you kicked out of the police squad according to the new law which took effect this week. Which totally gets around a little thing called “unconstitutional”! AP:
In sexual matters, however, distinctions are made between heterosexual and homosexual police officers. Those who commit adultery only face suspension, but expulsion is required for those who engage in “sexual relations with people of the same sex that cause a scandal or damage the image of the institution.”
Peru’s Supreme Court in 2004 overturned a ban on homosexuality in the police and military. But like the U.S. military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” – which bans homosexuals from disclosing their sexual orientation – the new law tries to sidestep the issue without banning homosexuality outright.
“The only thing that is penalized now are the scandals that can be caused by a scandalous relationship, if they are homosexuals,” Interior Ministry spokesman Fransisco Ugarteche said Thursday.
Straight cops who cheat on their wives and frequent strip clubs, however, commit no such scandalous act.

Kind of opposite of what happened here in Colombia in light of some recent law ruling from the Supreme Court, where you can include your partner in your health benefits. Yesterday were known for first time ever a policeman successfully included his male partner in the institution health plan with no consequences… ummm, might Peru lawmakers must see what the others are improving and stop the radicalness.

This is totally insane. Probably most of Peru’s cops have engaged in sex with other men as the active partners. Why? Because in Peruvian culture letting another man perform fellatio on you only enhances your standing as a macho. That really, according to Latin macho culture, means you are a man.
Yet another silly law that will be incessantly broken. It is entirely a cover-up for the reality that permeates the culture.

@Zakakaka:
Well, Mexico city has legalized marriage between men, something a bit above what the US allows. Colombia also allows gay marriage. I am just trying to add some nuance to your “third world country” comment.

@Zakakaka:
Ummmm if they were straight they wouldn’t give a fuck about whether you had fun or not. the problem is that they want you not to have what they would love to have, but cant let themselves have.
