laleiaYou know? I definitely don't know how this whole stereotype where Chinese people aren't gay because it would be a huge, terrible disgrace got started because I'm definitely reading the English translation of a classic Chinese novel (hong lou meng, for those who care) for class and umm ..
... not only is there more sex than I had realized ancient Chinese people in eighteenth-century China cared about but ...
... Chapter 9 totally has a gay orgy. Like, there's a potential foursome of guys who want to have sex with each other, and there are guys have sex with each other, and it's SO WEIRD because I didn't know that publishing this kind of stuff in ancient China was ALLOWED. And this is a classic? And ... the narrator acts like it's such a normal thing, this RAMPANT homosexuality among ancient Chinese aristocrats.
