Feb 01, 2013 By eChinacities.com

Under the Weibo name of “Two old lovers”, an elderly gay couple recently posted a series of photos depicting their “wedding ceremony”, which is seen as a controversial act in many echelons of Chinese society. Their love story began when a retired teacher fell in love with a water-delivery man who frequented his apartment. Calling each other “big baby” and “small baby”, the couple were married on January 30 in Beijing’s Pinggu District.

This lifestyle has been a foundation among many old cultures, especially in China. Only now is it in the public view. It benefits China in various ways, lowers birth rate, lowers divorces (lifestyle exposed by angry female spouse), maintains the community, increase in adoptions (hopefully), shows the younger generation that being different is not criminal.

Yes I agree, It makes it ridiculous and fantasist while I am sure they want to do it seriously though they look quite fun

I believe true love also exists in the same sex, and it really needs courage to show. Congratulations to the gay couple!
