IS GAY MARRIAGE COMG TO CHA?

Once nsired an impossible dream, gay marriage has staed tremendo momentum across the Uned Stat, and proment voic now speculate that same-sex marriage will be legal every state the untry wh jt five terms of legal regnn of same-sex rights, Cha remas far behd the Uned Stat. However, for a untry that crimalized homosexualy as recently as 1997, Cha too has ma signifint stris tolerance and acceptance.

In this terview, Burger discs the origs of homophobia Cha, and why he feels optimistic that gay marriage may, someday, bee there any sort of movement toward gay marriage Cha?

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. I do see, though, a gradual shift occurrg, as younger Che people are more tolerant of for marriage, the sexologist Li Yhe has attracted a lot of attentn for sayg gay marriage should be legalized Cha where, she pots out, there are likely at least 40 ln gay people. 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.

So wh this md, I thk 'll take several generatns before somethg like gay marriage will be put to are the origs of homophobia Cha? One reason was the prence of Christian missnari Cha, who imported the Wtern notn that homosexualy was a s and worth crimalizg.
