CHINA: Gay Couple Marries As Huge Crowd Looks On And Cheers

CHINA: Gay Couple Marries As Huge Crowd Looks On And Cheers

Gay Star News reports:

Lu Zhong and Liu Wangqiang, 24 and 20 respectively, wowed their hometown of Ningde on Tuesday (2 Oct), a day after the national day, as their cascade of wedding cars paraded the city’s roads and parks and showcased their love. With the newly-weds attracting as many as 1000 onlookers, according to the West Strait Morning Post, Liu Hua-sheng, a well-wishing taxi driver, described the scene as being "grander than the Chinese New Year." The evening climaxed when Lu and Liu, clad in black-and-white wedding suits, kissed each other on the lips. In China where same-sex marriage is not legally recognized and homosexuality often frowned at, Lu and Liu’s love has been nothing short of high-profile for the public.

One of the grooms claims that the local government sent "ruffians with clubs" to look for them, but the ceremony went off without interference.
