China Falls To Lesbianism, Satanism, etc.

At least, one can only assume that's what's coming for China, after this article:

The rules of love, and separation, are changing in China.

Until recently divorce was rare in the communist state. Separating couples needed their work unit's permission before a divorce could be granted, but that was rarely given.

Personal relationships took second place to serving party and state.

But at the end of 2003 the rules changed. Now unhappy couples can visit their local community centre and - if both parties agree - the divorce will be issued in only ten minutes, for as little as 65 pence ($1).

But it's this part that really interests me:

After 20 years of marriage, the 45-year-old office worker has met someone else. In the past she would have thought twice about separating. But in the new China divorce is less stigmatized, she says.

"Today's society is a lot more tolerant. It allows individuals to make their personal choices," she says. "People have different expectations of the quality of their lives. We decide what life-style we choose and how to live a better life."

So... divorce = democracy? Let it be so!
