2010 Update: What's up with Gay/Lesbian Lit in the People's Republic?
A gutsy young Hui from Xinjiang has reportedly just arrived in Oslo to take part in the Worldwide Mr. Gay. One can only surmise that, as much of a hassle as he may have been given, he couldn't have left China with a valid passport unless somebody upstairs gave the nod. Read the details here.
And so, my questions: What is the current status of gay and lesbian writing in China today, both by homosexual authors, and by others writing about the topic? Translation-wise, which works have been translated into or from Chinese? What kind of censorship do such works face?
