Dear Annie
I did some research from internet, also I had asked some questions from my friends.I found a big different opinions in families between Chinese and British.I talked to my girl friend (she is lesbian in China),she told me she has a girlfriend now,but she willnot tell her parents ,and this is will be her last grilfriend,when her grilfriend go to marriage (with a boy),so she will be go to marriage,her parents will never know what had happened before.I asked her," if you married ,you will not love your husband,how can you build a family"?she said ,"nobody could accepts this fact in China at this time,so we can do just like normally people,and dont hurt parents heart".At the same time ,I have asked my friend in Britain ,he is a gay,and everybody knew,and everybody thought that is very common,so I have confuse,why british people could accept this fact hanpped in their country but Chinese cant, this is truth no doubt,people has right to choose what they like ,if the family no love in there,how can be a family?

Hi Michelle
You ask a difficult question! It is sad that some cultures make if very difficult for people to express their TRUE sexuality. I remember when i was in Hong Kong, I was at a party and I met a couple of gay men (Chinese). Because they were at a party with Western people they could openly declare they were gay. In fact, they were both married with children! They told me it was impossible to 'come out' - that the Chinese society did not accept this. Perhaps this is still true with your parents generation. Do you think your generation will be more tolerant of openly gay couples? More and more Chinese couples divorce now, is that true? Whereas before this was quite uncommon, I believe. I imagine changes will come, slowly.
