As the Mr. Gay China Pageant begins, the contestants say that gays are becoming better accepted.
Excerpt:
China is officially atheistic, and without religious reasons for opposing homosexuality, attitudes are slowly shifting among city dwellers from one of intolerance to indifference. Gays living in big cities, like nearly all the men participating in the pageant, say their biggest challenge is dealing with parents and deeply ingrained expectations for them to get married and have children.
"Really the only difficulty is one's parents. How do you face your parents? But with the way society is right now, even if your parents can accept you, they still have to face their friends and family," Wu said.

Uh, psst, this is what happens when you have a one child policy and start killing off all of your female infants... just saying.
Hooray for the Chinese gay guys, but I wonder how many of them are just "prison gay" because there is a shortage of chicks. :)
