    On National Public Radio and other media outlets it was reported that there was a Mr. Gay Pageant scheduled in an upscale nightclub in Beijing to promote a a new image of China's "comrades" as healthy, fashionable, and with a sunny a positive attitude." This contest garnered such interest in the international press despite the organizer's wish for the contest to remain low-key, that the Chinese government had the police shut it down saying the organizers didn't have the proper license.

    How sad.
    I am speaking at an LGPTQ conference tomorrow. I don't mean to be waving the American flag, but we do forget how fortunate we are to be able to support, express, and live the way we want to.

    I agree with you to a certain extent, but we can't serve openly in the military as of now, and we had our rights stripped away by Proposition 8. There's still a long way to go for equality even in the United States. [Edit by="rhitlin on Feb 9, 11:10:45 PM"][/Edit]

    And just remember, we live in California, and what can happen here cannot happen in many places in this country. I love our country also, but there are parts of this country in which I would not live (and not just because of weather).

    Anyone remember the name of a documentary on "Nu Shu"? This is, if I remember
    correctly, a secret, women's, rural, lesbo-erotic, poetry artform that is its own language and is used to communicate "affectionately" without men knowing what is being said.
    I saw it maybe 5 years ago.

    For those interested in Nu Shu there is an excellent article, with examples at http://WWW.CRYSTALINKS.COM/NUSHU.HTML
    Also, China Daily reported in 2004 that the last Nu Shu speaker died.
