Before Dec 1, World AIDS Day, Geng Le, founder of the gay website Danlan, had an exclusive interview with China Daily.

He mentioned his 13-year experience of building a gay online community while witnessing Chinese society's rapidly changing attitude towards LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) people.

He was even called up to meet with Li Keqiang, the then-vice premier of the State Council in November 2012. He's more than thrilled to agree that our society has been moving toward LGBT recognition and the concept of AIDS prevention and intervention becomes more and more accepted.

Geng Le and his Danlan team developed an interesting new app for smart phones: "Blued."

Blued is a precise location-based dating tool, helping gay users discover potential gay friends closest to them. They can send text messages, voicemails and photos to chat, date and find love.

The phone app is China's most active gay dating software, as well as China's first gay product to have received major venture capital investment. China's official news agency, Xinhua also reported on this gay web-startup team.

The Internet is changing our lives. We do hope Danlan and Blued help you to make a connection.
