Shanghai pride, for the first time ever

In a promising sign, China holds a gay festival -- just not a parade

Maybe this will start a sexual orientation equality race between the US and China

If the Chinese beat us in allowing gays to serve openly in the military, then I am going to be pissed.

If current estimates are correct

i.e. that from 1 in 20 to 1 in 10 human beings are gay, then there are from 65 million to 130 million gay people in China. That's a whole lotta gay.

Wow...

What, American Fascist? Did you already get banned under Rainbow Swastika?

You know, this behavior of yours crosses the line from simple trolling to full-fledged mental illness. Please consider counseling.

Why does Salon love man bites dog stories anyway

No one really cares about the 38 people who didn't get clubbed in the street during their gay pride march in a filthy faraway Asian city. It's THAT it's in a filthy faraway Asian city that's so exotic. I wonder if we should harvest their organs like some other Chinese criminals.

China is doomed

Homosexual activity is the bellweather of a society in steep moral decline. In the USA the first curse on our society was abortion on demand then the forced acceptance of homosexual activity.

China will get to the bottom quicker than America because of their overall godless communist government Of course our godless democrats are not far behind and are probably leading the way. Of course they will blame America and this time they are probably right.

There are ex-homosexuals regardless of what the homosexuals say. It is a chosen lifestyle.

Glock45:

In the USA the first curse on our society was abortion on demand

No, the first curse exterminating the natives and destroying the lives of those we missed, followed by slavery, but thanks for playing!

Sure, gay organs why not

I don't particularly care. It means one less gay walking around, doesn't it?

Its like the one drop rule.

Then you'd be gay. Plus what if it was something like a kidney! Then you'd be gay and the gay guy would be around too. You'd probably date.
