Wow! I wasn't expecting the parents of LGBT children in the match maker park - in such a public space. Seeing it was heart warming because I understand what a taboo it is for older generations to accept.

Lala is another slang for lesbian in Chinese

HAHA I LAUGHED I USED TO HATE THE WORD “BRAIN” SO MUCH AND I ENDED UP NICKNAMING THAT WORD TO “LALA”
over a few years, my parents nicknamed me Lala since they always teased me about the fact I used to hate the word brain.

IM LESBIAN

We definitely need an updated version of this! Please! Being gay in China is so hard and lonely.

This was so cute! It used to be like that in most countries but then people started to come out of the closet and obviously with more visibility comes change. Dear Chinese bros & sis please start coming out! I watch a lot of Movies and TV series and apparently everybody is straight.... Really! Time to change.

I was so laughing when I saw Leah, Hebe, Chris, Bibi and all these beautiful talented ladies that I always suspected to like women 🤣🤔 I'm so happy it's not just me 😁 Also Joey Yung, I'm almost 110% convinced she's gay 🥰

Fans from weibo! Like it soooo much XD!

[ChristinaEarlymorn]

Very great and informative video!
If there is any chance that there are asian women who are into trans women like I am? I dunno if there are any asian women who are bi :-/

I am from Germany and i dunno where to go or to ask such ladies correctly :-/

Any advice?

[samanthashen]

And I feel like things are getting even worse... Honestly speaking, unless the two of you are so deeply and genuinely in love with each other, it's better to stay single.
It's just... all in vain. Reality pushes too hard. I'd rather focus on work and study, really.

I think the concept of marriage has changed throughout history.
China did have homosexual and bisexual people, having same-sex and opposite-sex partners.
But historically, China did have polygamy.
It is possible for a society to have polygamy, where a person may have multiple partners. Same-sex and opposite sex partners. All of them. Opposite-sex partners for reproduction, same-sex partners for companionship.

[vincentyang]

16th, ?

Aku memiliki rasa kagum kepada teman wanita saat usiaku 5th.

Lalu, perasaan ini terus berkembang sampai bertemu wanitaku diusia 19.

Karena, budaya dan latar belakang keluarga, kami pisah. Menjalani hidup masing2.
