A man is reportedly being held in a psychiatric institution by local authorities after attempting to create Pakistan’s first gay club. The individual, who has not been named, was reportedly detained and imprisoned in the psychiatric hospital after applying to create a business in Abbottabad. An application filed to the deputy commissioner of the northern Pakistani city reportedly said the club would have been of “great convenience” for LGBTQ+ people in the area and “other parts of the country in general.” The man said that the club, which he tentatively named the “Lorenzo gay club” would have strict rules about sex on the premises.
