Here's a bit of a break from bad news. This is a nice story from Liverpool, where the city's council "has backed plans to create more of a gay scene in the city, with some councillors calling for a selection of gay restaurants, clothes shops and hair salons to be built in the city centre."
And even in China, things may be loosening up a bit.
Further: Some readers have rightly noted that
it is not the proper role of Liverpool's government to favor one
sort of business over another via preferential treatment and that
the market is better at allocating resources than any economic
planner. I do agree, and had considered that critique. But while I
share those qualms about the economics, I thought the item
represented a positive cultural change worth noting (i.e., the
attitude of "if we could only get gays to come here, how
much better things would be!")
