On the flip side, gay culture in the US is a ghoulish pink capitalist mess. At least in China that wouldn't be a factor. One thing I've noticed working on LGBT issues in the Global South is that much of the movement is geared towards copying the US and Europe, and not necessarily building something better.
I don't think there's anything too wrong with promiscuity or drug culture per se, but they definitely make it easier to draw attention away from issues like sexual violence.
No, there's nothing wrong with them, in fact I love drugs mysellf, I just mean glamorizing it, and promiscuity in that a lot of men feel like it's totally okay to grab other men. I'm more of a private person.
: p Sexual assault is sexual assault. I've run in to some grabby dudes at gay bars. Back when I was twenty I thought it was flattering. Now I'm just like Nope nope nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope.

The overt promiscuity and celebration of drug culture leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I've found my niche.
I'm reminded of the Chase Bank Pride floats.

Side note: Getting into drugs in China is likely to get you into way more trouble than being gay in China.

I think of it as a hundred year long hangover from the Opium Wars.

Totally, the anxiety around being groped or assaulted is why I don't go to gay bars or drag shows.
