LIMA - As Peru begins to ease its strict coronavirus lockdown, the country’s biggest LGBTQ nightclub opened its doors on Tuesday, but there will be no nighttime revelers; its dance floor will instead be filled with shelves stocked with groceries.

The Peruvian government will lift the lockdown in most regions of the country at the beginning of July, but will keep borders closed, as well as nightclubs and bars. “I was very depressed because I have been doing this art for years, but you have to adapt to new challenges for the future,” said McQueen, who is identified by her stage name.

“Before, I used to come here to dance and have a good time, but now we come to buy,” said Alexandra Herrera, a regular attendee of the club. “The thing is to reinvent yourself.”The club’s general manager, Claudia Achuy, said that the pandemic impacted the heart of Lima night life, but she chose to reopen as a market rather than risk cutting staff.

The Books From LGBTQ+ Authors We Can't Put DownYou thought I wouldn't include the O.G. LGBTQ+ author, Mr. Oscar Wilde? That's blasphemy! This play is set in 1890s London about two men who use the same pseudonym, Ernest. This is all fine and dandy until they both fall in love with women using that same name. It's incredibly witty and has stood the test of time if I do say so myself. QuirkyRican merylwilsner masondeaver Thank you so much for including me on this list with such amazing company! 🤗
