media - China Daily lets a lesbian girl talk

A first-timer in the official China Daily where a lesbian girl talks about the Beijing 'Lala' scene.

Now there is only one lala bar in Beijing. How sad! It's a lonely little place, but there's nowhere else to go anymore. I think this generation is already lost. It's up to the next generation of lalas. There ave been lots of great ideas, but none of them have worked out. One example, there was a lala conference that was organized two years ago in Beijing, open to the public. It was amazing! A lot of lalas from Hong Kong and Taiwan were there. They held classes inside a school and had a big party. There was a kind of lala film festival, but the plans were finally all aborted.

Quite a nice way to describe the governmental reluctance to accept the gay people in their society. But things are changing, as this article shows and they do not have to rely on hidden media only.

Update: Still lagging behind in checking my RSS-feeds, so I saw this disclosure by Danwei only just now. Ok, they have been stealing the article and sanatized it, but still a remarkable change.
