Hong Kong became a part of communist China on July 1, 1997 after 156 years of British colonial rule. It is, however, supposed to be a "special administrative region" for 50 more years and "maintain its lifestyle and economic system". This arrangement, called "one country, two systems", was the idea of former communist leader Deng Xiaoping.
There are several les-bi-gay
organizations in Hong Kong, and several gay/gay friendly bars popped up
after the legalization in '91. In February 1998, a Tongzhi Conference
was held in Hong Kong. Some 200 Chinese delegates from 17 countries, including
communist China, participated.
