Check out these steamy pics of gay couples who locked lips for a gay kissing competition in Chengdu, which caused a flurry of netizen reactions, both heartwarming and well, dismayingly homophobic. Here they are.



The good:

“I suggest holding more meaningful events like this, so they can find their own happiness, and so us straight guys can have even more girls to choose from”

“[Such a] free/open city”

“People in Chengdu kick ass!”



The bad:

“Fuck, AIDS”

“Chunxi Road is always full of these creatures”

“Fuck…I want to slap every one of them so bad”



And the just plain UGLY:

“Why the fuck did I get a hard-on while looking at this?”



Rock on Chengdu LGBT! In the words of A-mei– “First, respect love. Second, respect everyone’s love. Third, support true love.”

For all you LGBT Shanghaiers, Shanghai PRIDE is currently in full swing, and runs until June 22. Check out the event schedule here.
