A video of a gay marriage proposal has gone viral in China.
The video, posted on Weibo, shows a young man proposing to his boyfriend with a watch. The video has been met with mixed reaction, as China does not recognize gay marriage or civil unions.
“Today, I invite all the people we know and do not know to bear witness,” he says.
He then takes the watch out of its box and puts it on his boyfriend’s wrist to many cheers from the packed carriage.
Shouts of ‘kiss’ and ‘disgusting’ can both be heard in the video, but most of the thousands of Weibo comments are supportive and the hashtag
‘Mid-Autumn Festival man proposes to his boyfriend’ is a trending topic.
One commenter wrote; “Those who say it’s disgusting, you should admire their courage.”
