Leslie Cheung -- a Bi-sexual Singer




Leslie Cheung (12 September 1956 – 1 April 2003) was an actor and musician from Hong Kong. Cheung was considered as 'One of the founding fathers of Cantopop," and "combining a hugely successful film and music career'.

In 2000, Cheung was named Asian Biggest Superstar by China Central Television, and voted as The Most Favorite Actor in 100 Years of Chinese Cinema in 2005.

Cheung was bisexual and once said in an interview in Time magazine: 'It's more appropriate to say I'm bisexual. I've had girlfriends. When I was 22 or so, I asked my girlfriend Teresa Mo to marry me.'

Despite numerous tabloid rumors, he denied his homosexual/bi-sexual orientation for the first half of his career, until his stance relaxed considerably after emigrating to Vancouver. In the early 1990s he became one of the few Hong Kong actors who dared to play gay characters on screen.

My Notes: I have no comments on the gay culture. I simply observe it as an interesting part of sociology.
