One-year Sentence for Gay Party Organizer
Adjust font size:

A man surnamed Zou was sentenced to one year in prison by the Chongwen District People's Court in Beijing, for organizing a gay party through the Internet, China News Service reported yesterday.

 

Zou, an Internet fan, was inspired by the news about a "Gay Hotel" on a website in April 2005. He set up his own website called "Beijing Sky" to advertise a "Hot Dream Party for Cool Beijing Boys" and attract homosexuals to engage in prurient activities. He provided illegal sex services at his house.

 

"Since the ad was published in April 2005, more and more people joined the parties. I was mainly in charge of getting people together, and providing a venue and music. I charged membership fees ranging from 30 to 50 yuan," Zou told the police.

 

After receiving reports from the public at 10 PM on November 11, 2005, the police closed down the gay party and arrested Zou.

 

"Ten suspected criminals, all males, were engaging in illegal sex activities," the police reported. "Zou's behavior constituted a crime of 'promoting promiscuity'."

 

"Although people today are gradually becoming more free to follow their sexual preferences, that doesn't mean the law will indulge them. People should choose healthy and proper life styles," a judge surnamed Song said.
