Since 2010, GayChamberPeru introduced an international gaycott ―a gay boycott― against public and private institutions involved in corruption, pedophilia, pederasty, influence traffic and other crimes. The first target was the Roman Catholic Church of Peru's "bad clergy". The term "bad clergy" means those bishops, priests, monks, nuns, novices, seminarians, candidates, and laypersons involve in homophobia / lesbophobia / transphobia / biphobia / interphobia besides those crimes mentioned above. The international gaycott suspend and eliminate all type of economical and financial gifts to the Roman Catholic Church in Peru and overseas. Caritas Internationalis network was included in this gaycott in last January 2011. The gaycott includes the closing of relationship with other LGTBI institutions which are homophobic / lesbophobic / transphobic / biphobic / interphobic, or have activities related with pedophilia, pederasty, corruption, and influence traffic too.
