In this video clip, Current.com’s journalist Sherif Soliman illustrates the degree of acceptance of homosexuality in Shanghai by interviewing people in the street. Soliman says that “In 2001 the Chinese government declassified homosexuality from a mental illness. This development, along with an economic boom and emerging gay scene has began to take shape in China’s most modern city, Shanghai. The video explores some of the lingering ideas people still have about homosexuality as well as the aspects of this new scene.” [Click to see the original video]
