They won't arrest you for indecency, if that's what you mean, but two guys smooching in public will definitely invite lots of stares.

More importantly I suppose would be how homosexuality is accepted within the family. Something tells me that while things are changing very fast for the current generation, and norms are opening up, the PARENTS of that generation might still be quite hostile to homosexuality. But that's just an educated guess.

If you mean are people accepting of it.. not yet. If you mean will you get arrested for smooching your gay lover in the street..that won't happen.

Many people here are very prejudiced.  The general view is that gays are sick, foreigners are stupid, and the japanese are the enemy.  Generally speaking - not always of course.

Yes. Most men walk and embrace each other in China, how would a gay person act differently?

Up until 2007, homosexuality was classified as a mental illness in China. China is so progressive - not.

Yes it is....it's not uncommon to see a gay lover kissing in the subway station or cuddling outside next to some trees.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
