GUANGZHOU: More than 100 gay men in this southern city protested this week against recent actions by the police to push them out of a park frequented by homosexuals.
The protest was held Tuesday night in People's Park, not far from the Guangzhou municipal government building, said Ah Qiang, a volunteer of a Guangzhou-based gay organization.
"The park is open for everyone," Ah said. "Why are we not allowed to stay here?"
Sometime during the night, the protesters verbally clashed with police officers after park guards asked the large group to leave the premises.
