Gay rights seems to be an issue that gets reported with completely different perspective depending on where you go for your news. Its all about little words that make a difference. One example was in the San Francisco Chronicle. Their headline was “Minn. gay marriage bill survives GOP move to block”

Emphasis on the word ‘survive’. In another publication, one that is more conservative, this could be written as “GOP unable to block gay marriage bill”, which makes it sound more on the side of the GOP.
There was also one huge anti-homosexual editorial in the Washington Times, an extremely conservative paper. Titled “Gay Scouts of America” it strongly holds that gays should not be allowed in boy scouts, as it represents a threat to the moral integrity of the organization. In the Seattle Gay News, this move to consider gays in boy scouts is being hailed a tremendous move.
I’ll be curious to see what you find when you look at international sources, as gay marriage is becoming legalized or discussion of legalization is being discussed in many countries recently.
You said that you couldn’t find any chinese gay information at class. I can give one link to you guys to find out what about chinese gay’s information- they are still human being, anything is possible in anywhere. America , some of Europe countries, include Japan could have the gay marriage, why chinese people should avoid this situation? Find out what happened in China if you are interested in knowing the sensitive topic. Everything just about timing. Have a great evening!
