A short film depicting two parents’ coming to terms with their son’s homosexuality has gone viral in China, garnering on QQ, a popular video streaming site in China. Once classified as a “mental illness,” homosexuality has for almost twenty years. Same sex marriage remains illegal, however, and the cultural emphasis on continuing family lines has placed a stigma on homosexual behavior. Titled “Coming Home”, the six-minute film shows a young gay man who, despite loving his parents, feels pressured by them to be attracted to women. As the credits run, mothers of LGBT children tell viewers not to be afraid of approaching their parents about their sexual orientation and urge parents to be supportive. “Don’t think of the love of your parents as a burden,” says one, while another one says: “Be brave and be yourself. Tell your parents your experiences, and we will share with you.” Another mother says over rolling credits: “Don’t let traditional thinking stop you from coming home.” The video comes on the eve of Chinese New Year, when parents and children gather to celebrate the country’s most important holiday. It was produced by PFLAG China, a gay rights organization named after the U.S.-based Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The group runs support groups and provides counseling around China. While homosexuality is gradually becoming more accepted, activists say the government, according to CNN. In May of 2013, a 19-year-old activist was arrested for 12 days for leading a street march against homophobia. “They aren’t just targeting gay groups,” Xiaogang Wei, head of the Beijing Gender Health Education Institute told CNN. “Authorities are increasingly worried about the organizational capability of various rights groups, especially when we band together, because it could challenge their political power.” The pressure to marry has made it hard for many men to be open about their sexual orientation and has led as many as 10 million to marry straight women just to placate their families, according to. But as companies realize the potential of the gay market base, new apps and products aimed at the gay community are emerging. Blued, that has been primarily used in Beijing, recently raised $30 million from a U.S. Venture capital firm, according to Reuters. The app has attracted 15 million users in two years. For Valentine’s Day, Chinese online marketplace Taobao called “We Do”, which gay couples to countries where same-sex marriage is legal. Beijing Story – Short Gay Movie Online HdHappy Together (1997) • • Our list includes films from across east and south-east Asia, including works from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Gay rights, and representation of gay men on screen, vary hugely from country to country, offering a rich diversity of fascinating movies. Films that would have made the cut had they been more easily available include ’s romantic tragedy (2001), the flawed but fascinating Filipino crime drama (1988), and two Japanese ‘pink cinema’ titles – Beautiful Mystery (1983) and I Like You, I Like You Very Much (1994). 10 to try Each of the recommendations included here is in the UK. If east and south-east Asian films about gay men rarely make it to DVD, films about lesbians are rarer still. The groundbreaking Fish and Elephant (2001) is hard to find, (2002) is out of print, while All about Love (2010) and the award-winning (2006) didn’t get a British DVD release. We hope that, with classic lesbian titles becoming increasingly successful, albeit at a shamefully slow rate, a future list on gay female east Asian films will appear in the future. Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) Director Toshio Matsumoto. Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) Hold on tight, as takes you on an outrageous journey through sex, drugs, drag and Oedipal horror, in a weird and rather terrifying walk on the wild side. The bananas plot is pure camp: transvestite performer Eddie (played by, later the fool in ’s (1985)) strikes up a fierce rivalry with another drag queen in Shinjuku Ni-chōme, Tokyo’s gay ghetto. Eddie tries to forget harrowing memories of killing his mother – and anyone who knows their Greek tragedy will second-guess the identity of the manager of a gay bar with whom he then shacks up. A direct influence on ’s (1971), Funeral Parade of Roses gleefully subverts all notion of respectability, giving the viewer an unashamed snapshot of 1960s Japanese gay subculture on the way, as queers in Tokyo speak their minds to the camera. • Farewell My Concubine (1993) Director Chen Kaige. Farewell My Concubine (1993) The unrequited gay love story at the heart of ’s Palme d’Or-winning masterpiece is often overlooked, with critics concentrating their admiration on the incredibly ambitious scope of the film, taking in over half a century of Chinese history. It follows the friendship of two men, brought up through the strict training of the Peking Opera School. Dieyi () has been trained in female roles, and plays the concubine to the King of Chu, played by his friend Xiaolou (). Dieyi falls in love with Xiaolou, but the latter marries a prostitute (, excellent), ushering in a complex saga of love and betrayal. Cheung is remarkable as the tragic figure of Dieyi, a damaged and abused individual who resorts to dreadful betrayal when threatened by the Red Guards. Cheung, who came out as bisexual, was a hugely successful pop star in Hong Kong as well as an acclaimed actor, starring in several films by, including (1997). After years of suffering from depression, he killed himself in 2003. • East Palace, West Palace (1996) Director Zhang Yuan. East Palace, West Palace (1996) Power play is a major theme of this intense drama, in which a gay man is apprehended while cruising in a park and spends the night in a police station under the stern eye of the arresting officer. As the detainee tells the disapproving cop about his tumultuous life, it becomes clear he is subtly trying to seduce the masculine policeman. When the officer releases the gay man from custody, he refuses to leave, and things takes turn for the twisted. Jean Genet would have loved it. ![]() The Chinese Film Bureau weren’t fans of this subversive work, and confiscated director Zhang Yuan’s passport. Opting to use a gay man to symbolise free spirits and a possibly homosexual guard to represent Chinese authority was a risky move, complicated by the former’s sado-masochistic declaration of love for his captor. Despite a low budget, it’s a beautiful and highly provocative work. The title is a reference to the parks flanking the Forbidden City, popular cruising grounds for Beijing’s gay men. Happy Together (1997) Director Wong Kar-wai. Happy Together (1997) This is one of the coolest gay films ever made, a vivid and exhilarating depiction of two men from Hong Kong – Lai () and Ho () – in an intense on-again-off-again relationship, who travel to Argentina to visit Iguazu Falls, but end up repeating the cycle of infidelity and cruelty. After yet another break-up, Lai meets the handsome and possibly gay Chang, whose friendship jolts Lai into facing up to his responsibilities, and offers a chance of happiness and redemption. Enjoyed an extraordinary string of success from 1990-2000, including (1994), the perfect date movie, and (2000), one of cinema’s greatest love stories., which won him the best director award at Cannes, is one of his best, with a terrific central performance from Leung as a young, insecure man yearning for romance. As so often with Wong Kar-wai, the last shot, accompanied by a brassy cover of the title song, is unforgettable.
