Gay Blogs in China - Yculblog
In trying to find more readings on Gay culture, I continue to browse through the blogs in YculBlog. Here are more blogs in relation to Gay community here, this are the authors to the blogs they own:
COCO
猫猫
死 地
marc
狗狗
左转右转
joeyzf
疯一样的男子
The problem for most readers who are Not from China is that these blogs are written in Chinese. You might not understand what's written. There should be more people out there. Just my mandrin is no good and I cannot source them out. Please note that these blogs are for you to understand them. You should not criticise as everyone has the right to choose any paths in their life.
We all choose to live the style of life we want. Some of us spent crazy hours rushing datelines in work. Some choose a more carefree style of Living. Some of them might have double personalities in order to hide things the society deemed as controversial. But as the african belief in Ubuntu goes, "Do good, Have Love, Have compassion, make the world better", everyone has and equal right in every day's life.

Gay Culture in China
I got bored today, woke up and decide to do some understanding of tagging. I started off with knowing what are the popular tags within this YculBlog.com blogsite i used. What caught my attention was a couple of tags in relation to Gay culture here in China. Everything begins with a tag: gay
So what did I find out? Lots of articles written by gay community here. No, they seem to have a lack of ability for concealment. They perhaps would prefer to be disclosed out. Out of the closet out of the cabinet. A term in the gay community to be let known. Though this is a virtual world in which perhaps bloggers use a different name from their real world, many of their articles actually talks about real life, what's happening in the worl revolving around them.
Sad to say, a couple of them perhaps felt that they are born in a body which does not belong to them. Castrato is one of them. There is an air of immortality in his post. He feels a need to push on in life, enjoy life to the fullest, perhaps one day changing the world around him. There is still perhaps a very typical mindset of Asian values in his beliefs: take care of parents, get rich, take of his love ones, but there is a tinge of air in which he hopes there are changes. A common value in gay community who wish to be accepted in the society. From his blog, I feel that there is a very big lust factor involving around sex, some concepts can be rather gruesome to the normal people. People who maybe have the urge to understand can read him blog at well.
