I see the Communist ruling elite in China is once again flexing its progressive muscles:

A Chinese gay pageant, said to be the first held in the country, was ordered by police to close an hour before opening, organisers say.

Apparently, the pageant has been cancelled because it did not apply according to procedures. Which, in an authoritarian regime like the one in China, has a certain ring of truth to it. Until you consider this:

Homosexuality was illegal in China until 1997, and officials described it as a mental illness until 2001.

And we all know how the Chinese government feels about the mentally ill. But it is difficult to describe the actions of the Chinese government in any other way than blatantly homophobic. And also I note the number of left-wing movements that end up brutally suppressing their own people when they get into power. I'm pretty sure that the point of a utopia - Communist or otherwise - isn't to describe homosexuals as mentally ill...
