THIS WEEK - SUNDAY 9 NOVEMBER Features: QAFBJ Episode 17 "I am homosexual"
Everyone at some point suffers prejudice. People might say you’re fat, badly dressed, too short, have a bad figure, speak crudely, or aren’t manly enough.
It all comes from a conventional perception of what is ‘right’. We would all hope that society could appreciate real diversity in life. After all, each person is an inimitable original.
Yet when homosexuals stand up and express this diversity, many people are still unable to accept it. Confucius said 2500 years ago that we should treat others as we would have others treat us.
Professor Fang Gang of Beijing’s Forestry University uses his own unique way to tackle prejudice: as part of an open course entitled ‘Hidden Voices’, he has invited a gay man and a lesbian to meet face-to-face with students for dialogue.
This episode of QAF Beijing is also an open classroom. Today’s topic: A good man always helps others gain the acceptance he wishes for himself.
第二季.第17集---我是同性恋
生活中我们每个人都会面对不同的歧视，有人觉得你胖，有的人觉得你穿的土，有人觉得你三围不够，有人觉得你海拔不高，有的人觉得你发音不标准，还有人觉得你不够爷们儿，原因就是一个所谓的传统标准。这种情况里我们肯定希望社会应该尊重生命的多样性，因为每个人都是独一无二的个体。可是当同性恋人士站出来表达多样性时，很多人又变成了叶公，孔老夫子在2500年前就说过“己所不欲，勿施于人” 。消除偏见歧视林业大学的性学博士方刚很有一套，名为“被掩盖的声音”公共课堂上他把一对男女同性恋请来和同学们面对面地进行交流，今天的同志亦凡人也是一节公共讲堂。主题是“夫仁者，己欲立而立人，已欲达而达人。”

QAFBJ Episode 3: "The World's Oldest Profession"
It's often called the world's oldest profession, but probably also the world's most controversial industry.
Prostitution, after being the subject of countless literary titles, remains as little-understood by outsiders as ever.
Compared to their female counterparts, male prostitutes tend to face even more prejudice and pressure, which have forced them to live on the periphery of a peripheral society.
Author Tong Ge, our guest for the episode, decided to record hitherto untold stories of so-called money boys and included their most personal accounts in an enlightening volume on China's male sex workers.
第二季第3集世上最古老的职业
都说这是世上最古老的行当，但却亦是世上最受争议的职业。
千百年来，古今中外，从杜十娘到茶花女，多少文人志士为他们立书作传，却仍然难改世人对他们的不屑和偏见。
与女同行们相比，男从业者们似乎更为主流社会不容，面临着更大的歧视与压力男性性工作者由此浮游在一个边缘人群的边缘。
他们的选择或许可以不被认同，但他们的生存和福祉却不容忽视，尤其在一个充斥着不公和疾病的世界。
他们若希望诉说自己的心声，不是为了祈求怜悯，而是为了一份难能可贵的理解。
本期嘉宾、作家童戈聆听并记述了他们的故事，完成了中国第一部有关男性性工作者的调查厚厚的著作浸透着他的心血，也打开了进入他们隐秘生活的一道门。
