Peru is now banning gays and unfaithful spouses from being police officers. The new Interior Minister, Mercedes Cabanillas, put the regulations in place as part of an overhaul of the police force, which is plagued by corruption and scandal, and held in poor esteem by the general public.

Taking homosexuals out of the ranks and ousting cheaters will improve the image of the institution, according to reports.
