What, if any, LGBT (queer) community exists in Zhuhai?

All walks of life are fine here mate!

Take Croydon for instance!

Camp as a row of tents.

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still

In the words of some old gaffer,

"there's naught as queer as folk..."

many queer/strange people here so you will blend in fine !

It's not the views of the expats so much at all as the small town feel of Zhuhai and all that entails. Frankly speaking, it will be challenging--though possible--to enjoy your lifestyle, but not without a great deal of obstacles.

Actually reminds me of Little Britain...natch.

There are gay and lesbian support groups here such as the rainbow club. A couple of places here are known for the high percentage of lesbians living there. The attitude to homosexuality has changed with the "condition" no longer being classed as a mental illness from 2003/4 by the powers that be.

Canrun how about a rundown on your trip...I am sure many miss you !

I'll send ya a PM, mate. Definitely don't want to be accused of hijacking THIS thread! Ha. ;)

(Why am I still visiting here?? It's a blue sky day and 23 degrees...) Addictions are hard to break, I guess!

Wow, no one picked up this post, very interesting, why is homosexuality such a thorny issue?
no response from clever girl....glad i kept my post vague and did'nt name names...oh canrun i see the APA wants to list internet addiction as a new form of mental illness.

edited my post so lost some points, i will never get a t-shirt at this rate...hey what about queer eye for the chink guy? too much? ok, sorry...

It's funny...every.single.person. on U.S. tv these days seems to fall into the above categories. Fine by me, but it's just a bit headache-inducing to watch Carson Kressley run around all night and day. If you have no idea who that is, then you're better off for it.

Off to the Blue Oyster now. Tah!

Ahoy, hoy canrun

did you get my gag about thorny issue (too many pricks), oh well english humour i s'pose.

Perhaps i will finally meet you someday and we can cause a kerfuff...um scene.

I am thinking of becoming metrosexual, well most foreign guys in china are compared to the lo,ahem time to go.....

clever girl, a visit to spanwire.com should fix any problems you have...lol. I did hear once that there is a gay bar somewhere here in Zhuhai, I have not been able to find it as it is not located in the "populated" bar streets. Maybe someone here would know more? Sorry I could not offer you more infomation! I have had many expat "gay" friends here in China and they seem to find no problem in enjoying thier lifestyle.. so I guess you should have no fear!!!

I recall walking into a bar in Gongbei once and felt very uncomfortable there, is it? of isn't it? I have no idea.

Directions:
With Yingdo Jiudian on your left, procede down the left hand side of the street towards Lianhua Lu.

Cross Lianhua Lu and continue in the Lover's Road direction. Before you get to Shuiwan Lu, there is a bar at the end of the buildings opposite of China Telecom, go down stairs past all the wall pictures of scantilly clad muscular men into this dark, seemy pit called "Dicky Bar" (I think.)

Abandon all hope ye who enter there! Good luck.

Thank you for your dodgy directions, my friend. I'll have you to thank if I end up walking home with a lady sporting a red dress and duct tape in her panties.

If you were to go into any bar with the name "Dicky Bar" and then proceed down stairs past pictures of men, then whatever your fate after that is not something I'd be accountable for. :-p

De jure- there are no gay people, transsexuals or even people with substance abuse problems or prostitutes in China.
De facto- plenty of everything and everyone here...
I've seen myself quite a few gays around,both chinese and foreigners.
All goes here!
:)
Peace

This is my opinion:

actually Dicky Bar is not a gay bar.
Several years before, i opened a gay bar in zhuhai named Scorpiobar Bar, my friends called it Weldon's Bar.
Closed two years before, now we just have gay massage service.
Hope i will have a new gay bar in future, But really so many gay and les in this city?

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the "land of the ladyboys"... Thailand.

@admin,

I thought we didn't allow advertizing in these forums? This looks suspiciously like spam to me!

Well, perhaps that's too strong...

from the website:

"Zhuhai Gay Massage Club
Best gay massage service from our handsome boys!"

Back home we'd refer to such services as 'Call Girl' or 'Escort' services. This being Zhuhai, I guess you just have to choose your own euphemism. ;-)

Homosexual is OK. Everyone has his own taste, and they don't need to change themselves just because most people dislike it. Exactly, there are several pairs of lesbians in our school. And some of the girls or a few boys enjoy something relating to gays. So for us, it is very normal.
