The first ever Mr. Gay China Competition! An event to show off the fashionable and sunny side of gayness to Chinese society! A contest filled with hot body guys! The announcement of the first ever Mr. Gay China Pageant sent flaming ripples throughout the gay community.
The excitement was soon gone however when the event was cancelled just hours before it was supposed to start. Suddenly, the perspectives of the gay movement went from sunny to bleak – the cancellation meant a blow to all queers on the mainland. The mainstream media immediately jumped into action and tried to find an explanation for the debacle: did the organizers cancel the event themselves? Were they trying to cheat all the people who bought a ticket to the show? Why was the police there and where did they take the organizers?
Queer Comrades brings you the full story. From the early preparations to the final blow-out, “Comrades, you’ve worked hard” shows you the wild rollercoaster ride of contrasting emotions that was the Mr. Gay China Competition.
Can entertainment exist without politics? Has the Chinese gay movement taken a step forwards or backwards? We leave it up to you to decide…
