Tips for Gay and Lesbian Travelers

Homosexuality was only removed from an official list of mental illnesses in 2001, but the situation (while still grim) has improved in recent years. Beijing has a few gay bars of note, and the expatriate magazine Time Out recently broke the longstanding taboo against using the words "gay" and "lesbian." The International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) (tel. 800/448-8550 or 954/776-2626; www.iglta.org) lists three gay-friendly organizations dealing with in-bound visitors to China.
