well, regarding the script in the subject, i was already overjoyed. But plz, translate it to english or sth. coz we vnmese use alphabet!!

but i wanna know what your talking about.

Bah, supposedly you're looking for s.o @ your city or sth like that. but i'm just being supportive, being asian and all.

i thought lesbo seldom came here...i used chinese for attention.and i think i should change the impression u have on china. the gov here turn a blind eye on gay things and people are not as conservative as u think.language is the obstacle that make u misunderstand the situation here.总之，希望大家多学习汉语吧，被误解是件恼人的事儿。各位都是哪儿的哪？能打汉字的就说汉语呗。英语我大概学成GRE出国才能比较方便沟通啦

here are too many "abc" , adding some chinese makes it more international~hehe

其实在中国同性恋历史是相当悠久的，特别是男同性恋，汉朝24个皇帝10都是同性恋，汉哀帝是最出名的，愿意为了自己的爱人放弃皇位。但大家一直保持默认状态就如现在中国的状况。调查显示60％的中国人是接受同性恋的，真正反对的大概有30％。其中很大一部分原因是因为中国的一个习俗，即“不孝有三，无后为大”，在中国传统观念中孝不孝直接是和养育后代挂钩的，所以我认为30％中有很大一部分人反对同性恋合法化其实是反对无后的结果而不是直接针对同性恋的。另外中国现状也决定了目前政府不太可能使之迅速合法化，因为其造成的连带效应是涉及意识形态的，不利于对14亿人口的管理。说中国不明主是对的，但我个人觉得这是现状决定的，这就不多说了..嘿，懂汉字的都发表点想法

once there was a poll and it shows 60% chinese can accept gay love while 30% oppose.I think those oppose it are quitely influenced by a traditional viewpoint in china that no descendant is parallel to no loyalty.So maybe what they really oppose to are the thing no descendant but gay love.When it comes to gov,I think if they proclaim it legal thay are risking stabilization of the country.considering my poor english I stop here.the chinese version above maybe express my idea more clearly

I'm from Taiwan. It's actually interesting to see some Chinese posts here, HA!

I think Taiwan is one of most gay-friendly countries in Asia.

We have pride parade here in Taipei and there's currently some debate on same-sex marriage in the congress. (I think the legislators aren't very serious about the issue though.) There are also some openly gay/bi/transgender stars on the media.

Most of my friends know I'm lesbian and they're fine with it. Actually, I used to go to a girls' high school and lesbian couples were quite common. I'm out to my parents. They haven't really accepted it yet, but I think we just need more time to get through this process.

Overall, I think the society isn't very harsh towards gay people here in Taiwan.

(sorry, I'm too lazy to type it in Chinese again.)

The most well-known two are 蔡康永(gay) and 利菁(trans).

大炳 is also openly gay and his brother 小炳 is a bi.

There are are also some very famous writers and artists that are gay, such as 白先勇(gay, the author of 台北人), 蔣勳(gay, writer, art critic), and 林懷民(gay, dancer, founder of 雲門舞集). 邱妙津 was a lesbian writer, but she suicided in 1995.

Also, rumour has it that 王力宏 and 張懸 are gay or bi.

A MV of 張懸's 寶貝. I think this is a perfect song for your girlfriend, HAHA!

我想共产主义和传统不传统是无关的，我认识很多人包括我都是共产党可都没反对这事儿啊，至于民主么，个人觉得历史和现状导致的既成事实，可话说回来，要是不集权这国家早乱啦，当年苏联戈尔巴乔夫要民主然后整个国家就突然跨了，分裂了。怎么说苏联当年也是超级大国吧也不行，真正的民主我认为现在世界上还没哪个国家达到呢，中国等人口变成1亿时可能还有希望呵呵

losgatos805 不太明白我的意思，之前我早已经说了在中国大陆对同性恋的事是搁置的，不问不管当然也就没有所谓的犯法之说，你误会了。或者我英文表达有问题可你该看中文吧，说要立法是相对现在”不管“的情况提的。让它更清晰化。

我其实也不爱掺和国家事情，旅游事小还是希望台湾尽早和美国、法国、英国等发达国家建交吧

I wonder if there is Taiwan embassy in US,UK,Franc,etc.

Not all chinese are freaks... oh wait, i'm a freak hehehe

ALL ABC? hm... not an ABC but can't read all those chinese you ladies posted.

so if i can't read all those chinese that was posted and not into chinese government,

so does that still make me a chinese lez?

...to say that I'm Chinese living in the UK.

C

中国没有宗教反对同性恋，人们也对他人的性取向持好奇的态度．所面临的阻碍只有父母家庭．幸运的是我的父母朋友都很接受我的性取向．

There is no conflict between homosexuality and religion in China.Lez is soooooo common in china．Fortunately,my parents and friends have really accepted me...

BTW...I'm  Chinese

PS：缘分～～～

Blararargh. I can't read the Chinese posted here! I can read enough traditional Chinese to read a comic book, but if it's simplified...then my head explodes. :(

So, to answer the original topic question... after much thought, is that I don't know. :D To the topic subject, though...I am Chinese. Taiwanese-American, to be specific.

Hi,

I'm Taiwanese-Spanish or Spanish-Taiwanese, depends on how you look at it, anyway I'm currently living in Spain (south Europe) but last year I spent 6 months in Taipei, Taiwan, for a Chinese language crash course.

I agree that Taiwan is probably the most tolerant country in Asia towards gays, but I also found that there's still a great pressure from traditional values. I mean during those 6 months in Taiwan I've had to fend off my mother's cronies interrogations about my personal status. Asking me whether I have a boyfriend and so on, and commeting that I my age I should already have a boyfriend and think about getting married, gee even my first day of class my Chinese language teacher comment on that when I told her: 上個 週末 我 到 宜蘭 去 登山 (shàng gè zhōu mò wǒ dào yílán qù dēng shān), and she asked me 你 跟 男朋友 去 登山 嗎? (nǐ gēn nánpéngyǒu qù dēngshān ma?). And I was please, please, please, not that question again... sometimes I felt like screaming at to top of my lungs HELLO, I'M GAY.

As for the some of the comments that have been exchaged between tonnyz and losgatos805 (by the way, you like cats, right?), ladies may I suggest that we leave the whole thing of China-Taiwan out of here? Otherwise we're gonna be at it for the eternity... I'm just glad that citizens in the People's Republic can get access to this webpage, I'd have thought that it wouldn't pass the Chinese gov's internet censorship. And for the record, Taiwan may not have "official" embassies abroad, but it does have governmental Business & Trade offices around the globe that opperate as de facto embassies.

Now let's keep it cool and follow the French Foreign Office guideline for travelling to China, "do not talk about the Three T's topics", id est Tibet, Tiananmen and Taiwan...

Hiii! Im chinese too, well chinese-filippino-american. Bascially, im chinese born in the philippines and raised in canada. I wish i could read the chinese comments but i picked up maybe like 2 words from the entire paragraph -_-" .

Its cool to find other asian lez here because most are still closeted. Gah, i wish asians werent so traditional and conservative. I dont have any gay friends in real life except for this coworker that left the job long before i found out she was gay. At that time i had no knowledge of the gay community so even if ppl acted butchy, i would have thought it was a "norm". I didnt develop a gaydar until exploring gay forums, movies and shows. You could say that afterellen helped me identify myself, and made me somewhat relieved to find others like ME :D !

hmm...

i live in taiwan, taichung, to be specific.

i used to study abroad and coming back to taiwan feels very foreign

and i am in the closet with a capital C.

but i try to sniff around to find if there's any lesbien hangouts online or whatever i can find but there seems to be no organization(is that the right word, eh) here.

so , me, feels pretty lonely.

oh i guess everybody who's in the closet is, eh.
