赫然看见更新词条的第一个叫Shanghai Pride。
于是我就迷惘了，像我这种紧跟潮流的人怎么会有没听说过的名词呢。
进去仔细一看，上海果然是与世界接轨的地方。
以后在上海会不会也出现同性恋大游行呢？
Shanghai Pride is a week-long gay pride festival which is currently taking place in Shanghai, China. It is the first time the city has held an event of this nature and the first time a mass gay event has taken place in mainland China. The event began on 7 June 2009 and will draw to a close on 13 June 2009. Legal advice was sought by the organisers and they were informed that Chinese authorities might not approve of a parade taking place in the city.
Events
The festival features events such as an art exhibition and film
screenings. There is also a large 24-7 party hosted by a
privately-owned venue. 2,000 people from China and from outside are
anticipated to attend a party at the end of the festival. There is
also to be a raffle to raise money for the Chiheng Foundation AIDS
Orphans project.
Organization
The festival was organised by Shanghai LGBT community, although two
of the moderators are American women, Tiffany Lemay and Hannah
Miller, who have resided in Shanghai for several years. They view
their status as outsiders as an advantage to hosting the festival.
Miller, a lesbian living in the city since 2001, views Shanghai as
"undoubtedly China's most liberal and progressive city" and is thus
the reasoning for them hosting the festival in the city. Lemay
said: ‘…last year, we saw the Beijing Olympics described as
“China’s coming out” party. Now China is really coming out - this
time from the closet’.
Promotion
Many people have indicated that the event lacks activism, with some
comments on the festival's website calling for more visibility for
gay people in the country.
