SHANGHAI GAY MAP

Gone, closed, bankpt, kaput, shut down… but remembered, some of the major gay venu Shanghai my time, no particular orr… Lollipop, In195, Luc, Club Deep, M Cafe, Hunter Bar, Eddys, Shanghai Stud, No. 19% (218k people) not rg, but some gay Che THINK they face what they believe to be a social stigma, particularly wh their parents who are expectg fay heirs. Fet the ever growg long strg of letters “LGBTTQQIAAP+” etc… — nearly all Che simply, polely, e the word “gay” for anyone non-hetero, which is an upgra om the proliferatn of nfg hidn lloquial terms such as “passn of Longyang” (lóngyángpǐ 龙阳癖), “the passn of the cut sleeve” (duànxiù zhī pǐ 断袖之癖), or “the divid peach” (fēntáo 分桃).

The formal morn word for “homosexualy” is tongxglian (同性戀); ‘same-sex relatns/love‘) or abbreviated to “tongzhi” (同志) which means “ra“.

Prepare to be nfed by a somewhat enarg trend gay social circl of cross-referrg to iends as brothers, sisters, uncl, mums and dads etc… As gay iends meet, they often create their new social fay circle of adoptg the words to refer to one another, and typilly, oppose genr rol. For example, an olr gay man be referred to as the ‘mummy‘ to a ‘sister‘ which is actually a slightly younger gay man, who have a younger iend they regularly go out drkg wh that they ll their ‘dghter‘. Lerally meang ‘eats potato, ’ this refers to a gay Che person who has a se of whe boy/girl fever, and th tends to only date Csians.

There are also numero gay dance halls meetgs, KTV’s, sna, gyms and other siar meetg plac, but sce the vast majory of the are equented by 99% Che only, or jt vers for sexual hookups, so I won’t go to tail.

Surprisgly (and joyfully), you CAN fd good drag performers and shows some smaller ci such as Nanng and Chengdu – both of the ci, I’ve also wnsed real sgers (not lip-syncg) drsed hilar drag, providg great fun for their gay bar dienc.
