'Let gay folks tie the knot'

GUANGZHOU: Guangdong province's homosexuals on Wednesday night came out to voice support for a legislator's proposal to legalize same sex marriage, saying it would help eliminate social discrimination.

"Even though homosexuals form a small part of the population, they deserve certain rights, such as family, marriage and property," a lesbian surnamed Zhao said at a seminar to discuss the legislator's proposal in Guangzhou.

More than 100 gays, lesbians and experts attended the seminar.
