For most Chinese people in the early 1980s, homosexuality was thought of as something immoral. Many people use "Tong Xing Lian," a Chinese term similar to "homo" labeling gay men to indicate their disapproval. "A kid like him, he could be a homo? Give me a break." That would be the routine way of thinking about children with excellent grades. In this article, the author shares his experience growing up gay in China. Economic reforms and the Internet have made it easy for gay youth to identify themselves and enjoy it a little bit. But growing up gay and living as gay in China are still underground issues. At schools in China, teachers have a unique role in shaping teenagers' minds. If they can point out the right attitude to sexual orientation, it would be of great help not only to gay youth to find true love, but also to the majority of heterosexuals to break through the gay cliches in China.
