Is this a gay hostel?

We've been in Lima a little over five days now and we're taking off in a couple hours for the long bus ride to Cuzco.  The hostel here has been pretty cool and there seems to be a high percentage of queer people here, which I'm sure is purely coincidental, but definitely nice.  We went out to Vale Todo again last night along with a couple of our fellow backpackers, "R" and "N", and a local guy, "E", who seems to have a thing for gringos.  E is friends with some of the people who work at the hostel and we're seen him here a couple of nights, but it wasn't until last night that we met him and learned he isn't actually staying here at the hostel.  Anyway, the five of us squeezed into a taxi and headed over to Miraflores a little after midnight.  The club was obviously not as crowded as Saturday night and they only had one dance floor open.  There was a decent crowd when we arrived, but it cleared out much earlier than on the weekend.  We ran into some familiar faces, including one of the guys we went home with Saturday night.  Damn, he is such a cutie and it sucked that I couldn't hook up with him again given the circumstances.  We all danced a bit and had a few beers but left around 3am and came back to the hostel. 
 
[SEXUALLY EXPLICIT] The five of us had a couple more beers here at the hostel, where one of the English guys who works here joined us since he was still up in the bar.  He joined us for a bit but I think he sensed where the night/morning was heading so he eventually disappeared.  We tried playing a game of pool, but we were all too drunk (and horny) to focus on the game.  Eventually, the sun was starting to come up, so E and I went to the room and started fooling around.  After a while, Sean and N came in and started fooling around on the other bed.  It was completely dark so I couldn't see what they were doing, but considering the beds are only about 4-5 feet apart, I could definitely hear them and it was hot listening.  Eventually, Sean took a break to go pee at which point N joined E and me on the bed.  When Sean returned, the four of us fooled around a bit before Sean and N went back to the other bed.  Long story short, we all had fun, although with all the beer, the sex was a little less than quality.  We eventually passed out and slept, me with E and Sean with N. 
 
We woke up around noon and had to pack everything up to check out.  The funniest thing, as we were settling our bill, the girl at reception asked if we had breakfast so she could add it to our bill if necessary.  When I said no, she replied, "Ah, just waking up?", to which I of course replied yes.  Then, not even a few minutes later, she asked, "So you know E".  Obviously, she knew what we were up to last night and I'm sure she saw E leaving this morning.  I told her that we just met him last night and we both just smiled knowingly. 
 
In total, we know of one other gay guy, one bi guy and a lesbian staying here at the hostel at the same time as us, not to mention E who isn't staying at the hostel, but seems to hang out here; maybe he's had good luck picking up guys here before.  There have also been at least two other guys we think might be gay, but none of us have been able to confirm.  Whatever the case, I'm surprised this place wasn't listed on the website of gay-friendly hostels because, at least during our stay, to call it gay-friendly would be a bit of an understatement.
 
Cheers for now!
