Gay Shanghai

The Shanghai Beat is a new DanweiTV show hosted by Adam Schokora. The show covers topics about urban life in modern Shanghai and features musical performances from local Chinese bands (courtesy of www.neocha.com).

In this episode, Adam spends the evening exploring all-things-gay in Shanghai with Comrade Yutian, a self-proclaimed expert on "gay Shanghai" and a proven local "scene queen."

The show ends with a performance by the Shanghainese band Banana Monkey, shot in their rehearsal studio in early September.

it's true that most Chinese people don't like homosexuals very much. But that's it. Persecution? for what? Nobody cares to persecute them.

I was driving one night in a neighborhood in Beijing and I saw these two drunk, skanky, young gays kissing and feeling each other in the middle of the street.

Man, how I wanted to run my car into those two. It's what I would call eliminating public threats.

Today's China has gone crazy, gays dare to fuck in the middle of the street....

Very bad.
