There's nothing wrong with people wanting to celebrate in what they believe in and it's great that Shanghais people are taking the first step on fighting what they believe and have pride on who they are.
This video is brilliant. As a Chinese in an oversea country I'm proud to see this is happening in china and it's moving towards a more accepting and open society as a true super country in every aspect, not just in our economy and military or politics, but also in people's minds and everyday life. Well done. And I do hope people can understand what the boy said in this video, Though it's been said in Chinese, cos the speech was so true and from heart.
Google up; "Police Raid Shanghai Gay Bar and Detain More Than 60". I can regurgitate what all the stories say, but I think it's better if you just read them yourself. They're definitely giving their gay community a hard time and according to the stories, it's sending chills through every gay person in Shanghai. I hope the people who made this video are okay.
@zitoh Good for you. Indeed China is progressing and adapting to the increasing influx of foreign cultures, especially the Western, but on its own way - meaning combining it with traditional thoughts of doing. Cheers for you living in China, may you return to my country another time.
@wikct2 True. The Western media never really give much light to the positive aspects in Chinese society. The thing is, homosexuality or bisexuality is tolerated in Chinese society since antiquity. All Chinese religions and philosophies tolerates homosexuality and it is not until the introduction of abrahamic religions such as Islam and Christianity did Chinese people began to foster homophobic beliefs. This is a fact, some Chinese emperors were known to have male lovers.
@RobbiePaulPeeters TONS. Emperor Gaozu, Hui, Wen, Jing, Wu, Zhao, Xuan, Yuan, Cheng, Ai, just to name a few! Homosexuality was accepted in every "golden age" of Chinese history, such as the Han and Tang dynasty, if you want to know more, you could check for the emperors under those dynasties. But I think by the Ming dynasty, homosexuality was viewed with a very discriminatory manner, due to Muslim populations in China then and also Christian missionaries.
Being gay in China, it's kind hard.some people who is still on the closet, they can not accept themselves. they don''t really happy about they found out who they are. For some people who accept themselves, they statted to worry about how to coming out with his friends and parents. I am really pound that I am gay. And i've coming out with all of my friends. and i am ready to tell my parents. but i just couldn't find a good way to tell them, can somebody give me some advice? thanks.
I chalange the Chinese government. Because you can keep people happy for a while with more material things like cars from BMW or iPhones but in the long run more people will ask: what are my rights, can I not only have nice things like western people have, but how is my life is being ruled. And I saw that the site of the Mr. China contest was closed down. YOU CANNOT SUPPRESS GAYS FOREVER, nor ordinary Chinese people, they will stand up and demand their rights. I chalange you, change!

Nice! What a nice looking couple they are! And his partner has a very beautiful smile, I wish I had a smile like that!

虽然西方国家比较开放, 但是有很多人还有一个跟传统基督教的价值观男女有分界. 结婚就是为生产孩子. 在美国南方有很多地方人民倾向圣经的教训. 如果要在美国办同样活动虽然政府可批准, 人民一样可以有反对声音. 在美国发生多次枪杀事件, 美国公民仍然批准拥有手枪. 在美国一个大城市游行会觉得安全?
@cobracurse Interesting argument :) but by saying this you are putting the lesbians in a very difficult position...which is unfair to them..
Can I be part of this when I go back to China?
