FOR A NSERVATIVE CY, BEIJG HAS A REMARKABLE GAY NIGHTLIFE

"Gay Beijg" - I'm not sure there is such a thg. As a foreigner who spent around a year livg Beijg I uld see that the ia of "gay" was very different to the one I knew the Wt.

The Che word for gay, (tongzhi), is a term of addrs om the Cultural Revolutn meang "ra". It is today, as was then, a term acknowledgg a shared characteristic (gayns) while at the same time puttg addrser and addrsee on the same level, where beg a tongzhi means ltle bee when you are a ra, so are all the other ras.

It follows, therefore, that for the Che beg gay means very ltle about who you are, and Beijg's gay muny is often que rerved. Others the gay muny do not feel the need to be open bee is simply not important to them.
