Police in southwest China's Chongqing raid city's largest gay brothel
November 22, 2003
Beijing — Police in southwest China's Chongqing municipality raided the city's
largest gay brothel, state media reported Saturday.
In Thursday's sweep of the Blue House Club, officers found records of what they
believed to be close to 100 male and female prostitutes, the Chongqing Economic
News said on its website.
The newspaper quoted staff as saying the number of regular club members was
probably in excess of 300.
A journalist who posed as a job hunter was told he would be required to serve
both male and female customers, according to the paper.
Prostitution has emerged as a growth industry during the years of economic
reform in China.
The vast majority of brothels are for heterosexuals, although homosexual bars
have emerged and are often tacitly accepted by local authorities.
Homosexuality remains a taboo subject for many Chinese, although attitudes have
loosened up somewhat in recent years, especially in the cities.
