----------------------------
On 20 May ，we launched an activity“Smile4Gay”to collect 1000 of smiles from straight people in China sent to LGBT(Lesbians,Gays,Bi**uals,Transgender), express our understanding and tolerating[1].
For 42 days, we have received 4409 smiles from 205 cities in 22 countries. Facilitate the street snap activity of 18 cities from inland and Hong Kong[3].
During this activity we got support from Kevin Cai，Jenny Ke,Anthony Wong, and some other public figures..China Global Times and Hongkang South China Morning Post etc. reported the activity in a large scale[4]. And it was called the largest scale of public supporting for LGBT in China up to now". Smiles were displayed at an
exhibition at the Dutch embassy in Beijing on 30 July. The activity got Dutch ambassador Mr. Rudolf Bekink highly praised[5]
This campaign urge the society to pay attention to and support the gay. Meanwhile, we have found that a few of our gay friends have many problems on acknowledging their **ual proclivities.
During this campaign, we met several friends who keep rejecting their **ual proclivities , refusing to face true self since they have realized that their LGBT tendency. Maybe a large amount of gay friends have suffered this situation. However, in fact, depressing one's **ual proclivities must lead to the explosion, frighten and pain internally.
When we are preparing for a new round of collecting smiles for gays, we heard from the press that a new lesbian run away from home as she can not suffer the pressure from home[6]. This has made us very sad.
In 1974,American Psychological Association claimed that gay is neither disease or pathosis but an normal **ual proclivites which take little part in the society.They have their right to choose their own life.In our mind, under the circumstance of not infringing others' rights, everyone are free to chase after their happiness. Any kind of person who have divergent **ual proclivites can find their own happiness[7].
We hope friends who are enjoying their life can share their own's unique and show the strength of adamancy through writing down some supportive words and sending a smile, to encourge those gay friends in hesitation. We also look forward to that every gay can know themselves accurately and open their hearts and deal with pressure bravely. Let's prove that we ourselves are power with the smiles.
