A post over on Peking Duck raises an interesting question. Will China approve gay marriage before the US does?
There’s something to be said for a society that isn’t blinded by the foaming-at-the-mouth intolerance of the fundamentalist religious groups (Muslims, Jews, Christians, fill in the blank). Granted many Chinese have their own customized blinders - party dogma and a culture that makes it all but impossible to tell your parents you are not getting married. But the new generation of Chinese are amazingly tolerant and they simply don’t possess the wild-eyed ideology to make them fall for such hollow nonsense as gay marriage “threatens the sanctity of traditional marriage.”
I don't think either country will approve gay marriage particularly quickly, but there are some indications in China that there is tolerance for homosexuality in contrast to what one might expect. Remember our post from back in February about lesbians in Beijing posing for wedding pictures? They didn't seem to run into too much trouble. And that's certainly a good sign.
