Video clip of two men kissing in
Beijing bar during Channel News Asia report hailed as ‘act of revolution’
It was a Singaporean news report on the
Winter Olympics opening ceremony, live from a Beijing bar filled with eager fans. Yet it was two men – who burst into the view of the camera, sharing a dramatic kiss – who stole the show.
The clip has since gone viral in
Singapore, where broadcasting codes restrict content that promotes LGBT “lifestyles”, and where sexual relationships between men are outlawed.
