    The US Consulate was invited to speak at the center a couple of times... which seems uh... like an extremely bad decision. I've talked to people in China involved in centers and that is a HUGE no-no.

    oof that is definitely suspicious

    here were conflicts with neighboring buildings that led to them being kicked out of their building.

    typical, happens all the time everywhere.

      Yeah there are plenty of groups that still operate in Beijing, obviously, at least 10 major ones from what I can tell. So while it does suck, its overblown that people think this is the end of LGBT activities in Beijing in western media.

          If you got the know how to get around firewalls, text translators are very good these days and are a nice crutch. I mostly know basic chinese words that are useful on websites like 'search' or 'menu'
