China Launches Gay Show

China is launching its first ever gay television program, a weekly internet-only show called Connecting Homosexuals. Gay life has been steadily improving in China, with homosexuality decriminalized in 1997 and no longer considered a mental illness. According to the linked article, the official government stance on gays is called "the three no's". No disapproval, no approval, no promotion. I've heard from friends that a small but boisterous gay club culture is slowly beginning to appear in Beijing, although most places are not 100% gay and tend to show favoritism to Westerners at the door.
