One member of Pakistan's gay community said he was worried Ejaz could be hailed as a hero by some conservative Muslims. 'To increase your privacy and security, we have decided to close Manjam to non-members in Pakistan until further notice,' it said in a statement.

In the absence of gay venues they rely on the Internet and mobile apps to arrange clandestine dates. The case has shone an unwelcome spotlight on Pakistan's closeted gay community, who are often afraid to come out to their families. Ejaz claims he was sexually abused when he was a child and that this fuels his homophobia
