Professor Sun Zhongxin is a new Chinese hero, introducing that nation's first class on gay studies at Shanghai's Fudan University.

The Chinese government has slowly been changing its attitude toward gays and lesbians, and little contact with the outside world via media or the internet is available. I was told by a reader spending some time in Beijing that Towleroad is blocked in that country.
