While in Hong Kong, Donny and I tried to find any gay venues we could. It was very difficult. As you might imagine, gay culture is cloaked. We found a gay bookstore online. We went to the bookstore taking literature and the Erotic Body Prayer Book with us. Even though we were able to find it, the store was well-tucked away and not recognizable. It was on the 11th floor of an office building and on the directory of the building, the store name was not listed. You definitely had to know in advance where it was.
When we got to the door, we had to ring a bell to be received. They definitely didn't want anyone wandering in by mistake. While we were there, we were able to leave brochures and talk to the clerk about our work. Besides the language barrier, it was clear we were speaking a "foreign" language. Our work is so needed in the world.
I wish the amazing community we've built could be seen in such places.
With affection,
Kirk
