　【香港20日深川耕治】上海のウェブサイト「東方網」によると、北京の男性同性愛者がネット上で同性愛者の交流パーティを開くサイト広告を出し、パーティを行っていたとして北京祟文法院（地裁）はこのほど大衆淫乱罪で懲役１年の判決を下した。

　懲役刑となった男性は昨年４月、ネット上で同性愛サイト「同志旅館」を参考にして「北京天空」というサイトに同性愛者の交流パーティを催す広告を出した。北京の公安当局は昨年11月11日夜、市内のマンションで主催した男性ほか参加男性10人が同性愛パーティを行っている現場に踏み込み、逮捕した。

　公安当局は現場で同性愛関連のＣＤロムやグッズなどを押収。パーティ会場を提供し、主催して懲役刑を受けた男性は参加者に１人当たり30元（４２０円）から50元（７００円）の参加費を徴収していたという。

BEIJING, May 20 -- A man surnamed Zou, was sentenced to one year in prison by the Chongwen District People's Court in Beijing, for organizing a gay party through the internet, the website of the China News Service reported on Friday.

Zou, an Internet fan, was inspired by the news about a "Gay Hotel" on a website in April, 2005. He set up his own website called "Beijing Sky" to advertise a "Hot Dream Party for Cool Beijing Boys" and attracted homosexuals to engage in prurient activities and provide illegal sex services at his house.

"Since the ad was published in April 2005, more and more people joined the parties. I was mainly in charge of getting people together, and providing a venue and music. I charged membership fees ranging from RMB 30 to 50," Zou told police.

After receiving reports from the public at 10 pm on November 11, 2005, police quickly moved to close the gay party down and Zou was arrested.

"Ten suspected criminals, all males, were engaging in illegal sex activities, " the police reported, "Zou's behavior constituted a crime of "Promoting Promiscuity".

"Although people today are gradually becoming more free to follow their sexual preferences, that doesn't mean the law will indulge them. People should choose healthy and proper life styles," said judge Song.
