Lesbian Wedding

On July 2 2015, six days after same-sex marriage was legalized in the United States, a Chinese lesbian couple, Li Tingting and Teresa Xu, held an informal ceremony in Beijing to push forward the LGBTQ rights conversation in China. Li Tingting, a women’s rights advocate, was one of the five women detained in early March 2015 for planning to distribute stickers at bus stations to raise awareness about sexual harassment on public transportation.
