Gay and lesbian couples are planning to raise awareness of homosexuality in China this Valentine's Day by entering a kissing contest in the capital.

Volunteers from the Beijing Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Center will enter the Creative Kissing Competition, sponsored by the New World department store, with the hope of providing an "opportunity for the public to understand the LGBT community".

"It'll be an opportunity to connect with the straight public," said 25-year-old Ash Wang, Chinese project manager at the center, which acts as a resource for homosexuals in Beijing.
