While activists had hoped would clu provisns to legalize gay marriage — particularly as officials acknowledged s cln was one of the most requted revisns durg the open public ment perd for the draft law — Che lawmakers ultimately rejected any l to do so. Neverthels, the ’s shortg hasn’t hampered the untry’s growg mand for LGBT-themed ntent among creasgly loud and proud gay muni — and the lns of mostly heterosexual female fans of the “boys love” genre, homoerotic stori about gay characters. Cha’s thirst for LGBT stori may be most visible to the general public bee of the populary of boys love, but ’s also due to a general shift toward greater acceptance of LGBT cizens — even among gay people themselv.
Gay rights, and reprentatn of gay men on screen, vary hugely om untry to untry, offerg a rich diversy of fascatg movi. If east and south-east Asian films about gay men rarely make to DVD, films about lbians are rarer still. We hope that, wh classic lbian tl beg creasgly succsful, albe at a shamefully slow rate, a future list on gay female east Asian films will appear the future.
