The only way that second photo could be more gay would be if it had a photo spread of Liberace in the background. Not that there's anything wrong with gay, of course. But somehow I think that was not what the creators of the glorious Cultural Revolution(tm) were aiming for...

Hold on now. I'm not sure I approve of detaching women. It seems like a bad example of gender violence, probably something having to do with the patriarchy...
"The East Is Red" is the title of a Mekons song, but I'll be damned if I can find a playable version of it on You Tube.
Something is hidden, for sure.
