Lucetta Kam is associate professor in the Department of Humanities and Creative Writing at Hong Kong Baptist University. Her research interests include queer migration, tongzhi communities and culture in China and Hong Kong, and East Asian queer popular culture. She is the author of Shanghai Lalas: Female Tongzhi Communities and Politics in Urban China.

The primacy of heterosexual marriage in Chinese society means that there are negative social and economic consequences to remaining unwed. Coping strategies range from lesbian women and gay men marrying each other to couples tying the knot outside China or unofficially via an app.
