Boo! Police Force Mr. Gay China Pageant To Close
Not that we're surprised! Human rights has never been on the country's agenda!
Police have canceled China's first gay pageant just an hour before it was about to start!
On Friday, the Mr. Gay China pageant was to take place in an upscale night club in Beijing, which featured a fashion show and host in drag until authorities showed up.
"They said the content, meaning homosexuality, there's nothing wrong with that, but you did not do things according to procedures," said witness Ben Zhang.
Officials told him that he needed government approval for events that included performance, but they have been known to harass the gay community and break up any gatherings deemed politically sensitive.
"I feel really sad. This was going to be a very good event to show a positive image of gay people," said Wei Xiaogang, said event judge and host of Queer Comrades, a popular Internet talk-show on gay issues.
The pageant was a step in the right direction for a country that had homosexuality on a list of mental disorders until 2001 and criminalized sodomy until 1997.
The winner of Mr. Gay China was to compete in the worldwide Mr. Gay pageant in Oslo, Norway, but judges will still send a contestant to compete.
Lot of luck, fellas!

Quote Of The Day
China says No to Butt Pirates! First! Hahahahahahaha!
a positive image of gay people…you mean kind of like the gay pride parade does in SF….real classy gay people.
So sad! I'm afraid the Chinese government.
not everyone likes gay you idiot
even in a million years from now
people have different opinions
and you,a blogger,certainley won't be able to change that
because you sure are setting a great example on gay people
there are more people in the world who are againts gays
then there are people who are for them
get that through your thick head
and im not being rude im saying it like it is
maybe one day the whole world will like gays (maybe)
but there will still be a couple people who wont
thats just how it is
im not againts gays but i am all for different opinions.
hey fat head,, noticed you have not copied and paste a post of Jessica B. on the cover of VOUGE… I am waiting.. tick tock tick tock
They criminalized sodomy until 1997 cause it hurts! Owww!
That's your fault because they saw what a flaming homo you were on your recent trip, Suk Sum Yung Dik.
That sure didn't stop you from supporting their economy when you were there. You'd be bashing anyone else you hypocritical douchebag.
Good for the Chinese police!
Didn't stop you from vacationing there, did it? Did you get the oriental teen runaways in your luggage through customs, by the way?
Now now kiddies, I sent this tip to team Perez, based on the sole reason that I knew that it would stir up some convo on this very touchy topic. Which in itself is absurd to be "touchy", we are living in the year 2010, who the hell gives a flying fuck about sexuality anymore. Isn't it time to LIVE AND LET LIVE!
…teeny tiny hard ons.

Until you shake your fat ass over there and become a Chinese citizen you should shut your rank piehole about how they should run their country
-
over there they have a solution for idiots like you…and they'll bill your family for the bullet

please, mario, China is one of the worst countries on human rights. do you know that women need to get the permission of their bosses to have a baby? If they become pregnant (even if it is their first) and it does not fit into the employer's schedule, the employer can push the woman into having an abortion. couples are punished for having more than one child. If the woman gives birth, a 'dr.' injects the baby in the soft spot of the head until it dies. If the child is lucky, it ends up at an orphanage. China controls EVERY aspect of a person's life. SLOWLY things are changing. Every since that lone student stood in front of that tank in tiananmen square in '89. how many decades will it take? who knows. but don't go on about gay rights when even the basic rights of humans can't be met.
Hey, if these idiots would have scored the right permits, all would have gone as planned. It's their own fault for not following proper protocol and procedure. They probably could have greased a few palms (with a few packs of cigarettes) and had the local police offering to act as security for the whole thing.
Mario - you really need to get your ghost-writers together and make sure you all are on the page before they post crap like this. Surely the same person who was snapping pictures and gushing all over China a few weeks ago isn't the same idiot who's ragging on them now. Your ghost writers are really killing this site.
RE: ZombieHitler
Hahahahhahah!!
…I bet those bitches were beautiful…
I think china is gonna get america sooner or later, with this buffy attitude.
You know, the Chinese lock up Christians, brutalize dissidents, and abuse women too - canceling a gay beauty pageant is hardly anything to get worked up over. Get some perspective, jackass.
Re: Honk_If_You_Hate_Perez – I agree with everything you said!!!
Porkez is an idiot.
Re: Zombie Hitler – LOL
I didn't realize China was junk-shaped till now. Probably the best part of your blog in years, Perez. oops… did I just compliment him? forget this ever happened
people die in China due to human rights abuses and the only thing you care about is Mr Gay China? you are a fucking fool
The Chinese government has been violently persecuting christians for YEARS, DECADES and yet you haven't whinned for that, PERVy…
parents in China can't have more than 1 child, THAT'S SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT. Not some stupid "pageant"
China has the internet. That jack is already out of the box, and the tidal wave will only grow, so I hope they go a bit with the flow and with their people's hearts. The alternative is the people seeking self expression on their own dodging a big hammer.
nothing against gays, but i couldn't care less Perez & sodomy is GROSS!!!!!
That sucks.
