Episode one of the Bloomberg video series Love Disrupted explores how the social networking app Blued is changing the way gay men live their lives in China.

lol I misread the title as "Gay-Detecting App" and assumed it was going to be about an actual gaydar.
It's so disgusting that China banned a BL (Boy Love) series & banned the actors to be seen together in public

你的摄影装备不错，哪里买的
Wow, very interesting. Big company, maybe it will grow as he hopes. He knows the system well in China to get away with this.
bloodandwinearered I am living in the same building where this company’s office is!!!! I think they are doing well
@@TheMrzhangjason did you obtain any juicy insights while sharing the lift?
Freedom is a BeYOUtiful truth!
I sent the message one time but it posted many :D
All Chinese apps want to be the 'ultimate' app.... every app can kinda do everything
NeverLooksAtComments a better way to put: every app wants to do that, but in the end, people only use one or two to “do everything”. Wechat for now is still unchallenged.
Like we chat. It’s a bit of every app in one
im just wondering instead kunlun why not just blued that bought grindr ?
Huh, it's just me not detecting trolls or there are actually homophobes in the comments?
Cool
Nice
hi guys I love all you guys I am a gay men to I Love guys all ways
Very smart man
they have to hide some faces in the pics in 2017...
i see so many gay handsome guys on douyin????
LOL That's marketing strategy. not all douyin gay host is really gay
After this video the app might get closed and developers sent to camp if someone is unhappy
go to google and search about "kawm Lout" and learn about GAY !!!!!!
hi guys I love you guys I am gays to
anyone there beijing 😢 i need friend
I am so sick and tired of gay men being associated with cross dressing. That lipstick scene in the intro??? No! Not needed!
TruAgape1234 well majority cross dresser or dragqeen on TH-cam are gay...
TruAgape1234 How does it effect your life ?
wow homophobia under gay people exist? shame one you! You should support you Lgbtq friends nomatter how they dress
but like it or not cross dressers were big players in fighting for gay rights and gay awareness. it is a diverse community that can't expect to be accepted unless we show acceptance for each other
Ur a butthole
It's not a crime in China, come on... It is not legally valid, the homosexual partnership..
大物和小龙？
No
Tim Cook
he probably helped build the app lol
I have downloaded blued and then deleted it
Please make entire asians gay Jesus
Why?
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Please make entire whites gay
Oh Allah
Sad and confused. Awesome people
I bet the Chinese need a VPN to access the app. They don’t allow anything they cannot control.
no need
no need。
Why are all of these parades and celebrating even necessary? Im black and a lot of white gay people told me not to be proud of being black because it isn't a choice, well since gay isn't a choice why are u proud of it? Being black is harder than being gay. You can u hide the fact that ur gay but can't hide the fact that u are black. Make up your minds,if it isn't a choice then stop telling people off when they say it, if it is a choice then stop celebrating it. BLM isn't even this cancerous. Don't ever compare your first world problems to ours.
Janiya Daniel being black is harder than being gay... Bullshit, go to southern state of USA and Africa and South America
This isn't a competition about who has more trouble. Both gay people and black people we're treated horribly in the past and still now. Those people who told you that are idiots, but you don't need to define all homosexuals by those people.
Identity is a prism, not a pissing contest. It sucks that people of color have been subject to so much hardship at the hands of white people, and in many facets of American life they still are discriminated against. It also sucks that homosexuals have been faced with so much hatred at the hands of a heterosexual world. There were gay white police who abused their power to sexually assault black men in the pre-Civil Rights South, and there is still a lot of homophobia in the black community as well. All of this is counterproductive. Debating over who has had it the worst is meaningless - All oppression is wrong. We all need to open our minds and hearts, come together, and fight to make a better world for everyone.
To raise awareness man. to make people think.
its like when you see a person with an exterior conition some deformation.
You are scared the first time, but once youbget to know the person. you can see a friend or some one youbare familiar with.
it's basic human brain function.
i might get some Flames now from LGBTQ for comparing to deformations, but the teory is the same.
Am i the only one who thinks that Global Population will decrease?
u can be gay but u dont need to have a pride parade.... straight people dont? we live in the western world u are allowed to be gay u dont need to a parade to display that.
We don't need your permission to have a parade.
Because in some states gay people dont have the same rights as straight people?
Takashi Totally agreed. There's no pride in being gay or straight. It's just a normal thing.
You guys live in a bubble, if it were such a normal thing and accepted everywhere then there wouldn't have to be a "parade."
We don't NEED a parade, we just choose to have one. Why don't you? It sounds like you want to have one, but you'll need to get organized and motivated as a group, and be sure that you're not defining your straight pride as anti-gay. No one is stopping you. We all have something to celebrate in inclusiveness, fair treatment, and hope for a better future and Pride month encourages all people to be allies and see diversity as something that doesn't separate people, but rather brings them together in a spirit of acceptance.
I want a straight parade!!!! Pride for straight people.
B000urns i don't discriminate. I am proud i am straight.
That's every other parade.
So you saying every other "parade" does not contain gay people?
don't worry we'll have a life time in heaven
Have fun organizing and motivating people to show up for your straight pride. I'm all for it just as long as you all don't confuse straight pride for meaning anti-gay. As a gay man I would even consider attending as an Ally to straights that have pride in being who they are and that value inclusiveness over division. If y'all want to have a party, the only people stopping you are yourselves.
I think the difficulties that the LGBTQ community has faced and still do face are probably great motivators for people to come out and support or celebrate Pride month, so it may be difficult getting people together to celebrate something that has never been persecuted.
You're going to regret this, but it's your free-will granted by GOD.
so, in essence, this god bestows you with free will without you having a choice in the matter... a logical paradox...
and how can it be free will if he ends up judging and punishing you based on the decisions you've taken using the free will that he apparently gave you... a logical paradox yet again...
I'm having fun with this
still believe in fairytale?
I love gays fuck off homophobic bitches
Don't discriminate, but please don't promote or celebrate homosexuality either.
The reason its celebrated is to basically say "hey, we are queer, proud, and are happy to be alive in our current circumstances." Gay people every day are bullied, and many commit suicide just for being who they are. Its just a celebration to celebrate happiness and positivity, i dont see why people care.
