Time magazine spends some time this week looking at gay life in Communist China: a delicate balance, to be sure: There's never been a better time to be gay in China, but as [gay club] Destination's somewhat schizophrenic combination of outer reserve and inner exuberance demonstrates, it still pays to be careful. Beijing's attitude has been described as a Triple No policy: no approval, no disapproval, no promotion. That hands off approach — a sort of commercial don't ask, don't tell policy — is emblematic of the delicacy with which the Communist regime is learning to deal with many of the issues concerning personal liberties that are increasingly being raised by its burgeoning middle class. Despite the limited limitations, gay activists and citizens claim things are getting "freer and freer" with the passage of time. They'll be ruling the world in no time! |

"There's a lot of pressure to produce an heir," Yang says. "Many gay men are married and live a double life. They lie to their parents, lie to their wives." We've no doubt Yang will get her wish: her aforementioned AIDS-orphan movie won an Academy Award. |

Pats Self On Back For Back Stabbing
Todd Herzog, a longtime fan of Survivor, won the CBS reality show's $1 million prize after 39 days of lying and scheming. Three cheers for money-hungry manipulation!! |

When, Where, How Unknown...
The nation also made headlines this year when it committed to distributing condoms in public arenas. Chinese officials have not yet said when they'll alter the laws. Those commies sure do play their cards close… |

Considers Sharing Love With Public
The Government drug-funding agency has started consulting with stakeholders on its proposal to add a wider range of condoms on its pharmaceutical schedule – including narrow (49mm nominal width), wide (55mm and 60mm nominal widths) and flavored condoms. New Zealand's isn't the first government to introduce flavored condoms into their arsenal. China and Ethiopia both offer tasty treats. Sweet corn dominates in China, while Ethiopians go crazy for coffee flavor. |

While American ads show graying men with a coy smile, perhaps a glass of wine and an eager lover, the communist nation's focusing solely on the erection-producing pills reproductive possibilities. Unless, of course, Chinese consumers truly care whether or not their sperm will obliterate a woman's ovaries. (Many a thanks to Copyranter!) |

No, Not Even On Cable
All levels of television broadcasters must not plan or produce sex change or plastic surgery programs involving public participation (including news, specials or interviews), effective immediately. Not even an interview? Forget their massive pollution problem, this shit's a real crisis! |

And Bob Allen Continued To Astound, Lie
I had a really hard time. I was very confused. I went to the army psychologist, and after I went two or three times, they decided I was not suitable for the army. They signed me out and sent me home. • Bob Allen's even more full of it. The Florida Republican disavowed his racist explanation for his solicitation arrest: According to [a new] report, Allen said he went to the bathroom to avoid a lightning storm that was about to start. Are you fucking kidding us? |

They got a rude surprise, however, when Jinzhu refused to mate with "his" female companions. Researchers report, “When the pandas showed complete disinterest, experts decided to turn to artificial insemination, leading to the discovery that Jinzhu had no penis." Poor thing. Most of us know how to find a penis and may say "Oh, stupid doctors, can't find a dick". Apparently it's not that easy with pandas - their dicks are only 3 centimeters long. Not coincidentally, female and gay Pandas aren't size queens. Now that Jinzhu's vagina has been discovered, she's put it to good use by delivering twins. Congrats, Jinzhu the tranny panda! Let's hope they're less "inconspicuous". |

The recent order counts as just one of the government's initiatives against HIV/AIDS, which long carried the so-called queer stigma. In June, bars and clubs were told to encourage safe sex. There seems to be a trend in the Far East. In addition to China's condom legislation, Hong Kong - the nation's "special administrative region" - recently overturned archaic sodomy laws. The former British colony also just founded it's first gay center. |

And We Took A Trip To Ancient China
• The Advocate on Hillary Clinton's new, improved marriage stance: Clinton’s new stance on DOMA may also be an attempt to establish a separate identity from that of husband Bill Clinton, whose presidency left somewhat of a best-of-times, worst-of-times aftertaste in the mouths of LGBT Americans. While the gay population’s historic role in electing Bill Clinton launched us on to the national political stage, his statutory legacies to us were the military’s antigay “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and DOMA. • New York State's Assembly Rules Committee advanced the same-sex marriage bill, 21-8. |

China Daily elaborates on the potentially life saving movement: According to the memorandum of understanding, bar owners are responsible for promoting safe sex among their gay clientele in their venues. They have joined the fight against AIDS with medical scientists, volunteers and government officials. The government's also vowed to help keep infection rates down and life spans up. |

The Page Six report explained that an anonymous client had agreed to fly the eager Barak abroad for some “modeling work”. The daily tabloid column also quote’s an email from Barak to the aforementioned source, saying, “I just started doing porn movies. None of my movies is [sic] out yet. I know you mention 'escort.' I never did escort, and I don't do it.” While some readers may have wondered whether or not the strapping Barak does, or did, escort, others questioned who leaked his name to Page Six. And, more importantly, why? |
