A popular gay bar in Shanghai was raided over the weekend. More than 60 people were taken into custody.
Some staff and customers were held up to 12 hours. Said the Herald Sun: “Police said “pornographic” shows were taking place when they arrived at the Q Bar in the early hours of Sunday, the Shanghai Daily reported.
“Police gave no details about the shows that were allegedly being staged at the bar, which is a block away from the police station, the newspaper said.
“However, the report cited migrant workers who live in a makeshift shelter on the roof of the building where the bar is situated that they ‘often saw naked men on the roof, drinking beer, chatting loudly, and even having sex.’”
China has an estimated 30 million gay people. Homosexuality was a crime in China until 1997, and it was officially considered a mental illness until 2001.
