Gay rights?

I recently read an article in TIME magazine about the gay culture in Beijing, China. Some have described Beijing’s attitude towards the gay community as a triple no policy: no approval, no disapproval, no promotion. They still don’t have as much freedom as say a city like San Francisco but the gay community in China is still free to live their lives. How do you feel about gay rights? I think that homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals. I am glad that society is becoming more accepting toward the gay community.
