    Carlos:

    The question was perfectly relevant when you talk about Peru and
    some other countries of Latin America in which gays are an
    important component of indian communities, peasantry, the working
    class and the low and upper middle class and, to some extent, the
    bourgeoisie.

    In Peru, of which Ole Leche doesn't talk about in *specific terms*,
    gays of the lower middle classes and the working class are
    extremely oppressed by *bisexual and gay* bourgeois sectors who
    utilize the condition of *poor gays* to maintain a horrific
    exploitation, both sexually and economically.  Please, read "In
    October there are no Miracles" and many other pieces of Peruvian
    literature about the matter.

    Gays are widely respected and in some cases enjoy some priviledges
    in some indian nations in the Southern part of Mexico, as well.

    Comradely,
    Carlos
