SHE has no regrets, but for Qing Feng, divorcing her husband – a gay man – and losing her son and money, was no easy process. In a country where gay marriage is illegal, a gay man may choose to marry a woman and have children because of pressure from parents and society. She finally had enough after the seminar and demanded for divorce, despite the risk of losing custody of her son. Chinese law also does not make a gay man culpable for the marriage breakdown, meaning it’s possible that no compensation will be awarded to the woman. A large number women are even unaware that their husbands are gay, due to conservative attitudes toward sex.
