The homeland of Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara, pop diva Shakira, and exercise craze Zumba, it’s not surprising that Colombia’s capital city, Bogotá boasts the (self-proclaimed) largest gay club in Latin America. Aptly named Theatron, it even holds its own drag race, Miss Gay Internacional.
Bogotá is a big, grand and modern city. My husband visited 15 years ago and recalled a homophobic place with one gay “hole in the wall” venue hidden in the suburbs and requiring a secret password to gain entry.
