On July 1st, the Communist Party of China celebrates turning the ripe old age of 89 years old. To celebrate this geriatric achievement, Lantung will be holding a birthday party on the evening of July 1st to wish the party another 89 years of rule under guiding principles of modern socialist theory (actually we’re just using this as an excuse to get drunk). With summer officially in season, we expect to party the night away on the rooftop under the round moon so reminiscent of the former Chairman’s cherubic face. We’re sending the invite out to the upper echelons of the Party as well, so don’t be surprised to see a few famous faces from the CCP in attendance kicking back a few mojitos (not really). To get the night off to a great start, come wearing red or pink and get a free drink on us. So don’t be a Trotskyist or a capitalist roader and join us for what should be an epic communist party. Half-priced drinks all night. Rooftop weather permitting. Lantung, Solana.
Communist Parrrrrrrrrty!
Simon Wang in Paris
Simon Wang, the popular contestant of Mr. Gay China 2010 whose face swept over hundreds of papers and magazines last winter, was just in Paris recently. His fabulousness ( and gayness) was recorded and sent back to Gayographic so that we are looking at him posing naturally in the middle of street, possibly stopping traffic, literally.
Now that he is an internationally recognized gay celebrity, it must be hard to catch him for a drink. Next time you run into him, wherever it is, please take a snapshot and send it to info@gayographic.org as well.
Beijing comes out for gay pride

By Lin Meilian
Hundreds of gay Beijingers, sporting rainbow brooches or tattoos with the Chinese character “Jing,” celebrated Beijing’s second Gay Pride party on Saturday with live performances, including singing and drag queen shows.
Despite not having a proper parade, the day-long Jing Pride festival, held at Langtung Thai Bar in Solana, Chaoyang district, attracted a crowd heavy on expatriates and English speakers as well as local Chinese.
You’ve got Male
Beijing Period is bringing MALEBOX to White Rabbit.
Come and see what gets stuffed into your little pink box.
So what’s MALEBOX?
It’s a flirting game – a fun, new way to drop hints to the guy you’re crushing on or to pick up a new man.
Sounds rad…but how do I play?
The rules are easy – it’s all about anonymously sending and receiving letters.

homo-trivia
Are you a homo-genius? On Tuesday, April 27th, Beijing Period is hosting a Gay Trivia night at White Rabbit.
Come test your knowledge in various categories like “gay-ography”, “her-story”, and “bi-ology”.
The game will be played in teams with a maximum of 5 participants on each team. There will be 4 rounds (including a music round). Prizes for the top 3 teams as well as spot prizes given throughout the night. Ties will be settled with a drink off.
No mobile phones are to be used! If we catch anyone using one, we’ll shove it up your ass. (I know all the big mary bottoms just got excited at that thought but you will NOT enjoy this! Even if you have it set on vibrate!)
One Year and Counting…
On April 29, Gayographic will be turing a fabulous one year old and the old dame will be partying in style. Now that the winter chills are making way for springtime balminess, the rooftop will be open for all the late night shenanigans that open air parties entail. Gayographic night has been a tremendous success over the past year and we have YOU to thank for it that’s why we are holding an OPEN BAR from midnight to 1am. So join us on Thursday April 29th and celebrate one year of Getting Your Drink On. As always, two for one drinks all night. Open bar from midnight to 1am, two-for-one cocktails all evening long. 10pm @ Lantung.
Sex and the Campus
Prior to coming to this renowned campus, I was happily ready and willing to be a complete nerd—bury my head in piles of books and habituate in the library all day. And yet, somehow, that subtle but penetrating gay smell kept creeping upon me from every corner of campus. I was surprised to find that, actually, there is a rich and rooted gay culture on this patriotic and traditional campus.
