THE GAY UPLE FIGHTG FOR THE RIGHT TO MARRY CHA

In 2009, the Cha Daily ran a ver photo of two gay men gettg married (symbolilly -- gay marriage isn't legal Cha) Tiananmen Square. This actually started a trend where gays and lbians "married" each other public ci throughout the untry, and general media verage of the events has been generally, Cha remas a difficult place to be gay. Gay people are stigmatized, and don't e out to their parents unls the parents are very liberal, and there are few openly gay people outsi of Cha's ci.

Two years ago, she put up a famo blog post (translated here by ChaGeeks) announcg that policians told her to shut up, that they didn't want to hear about gay marriage, and to let her know that this topic is taboo.
