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.
