CHINA OUT NANNING, CHINA - JANUARY 11: (CHINA OUT, HONG KONG OUT) Chinese drag queen who goes by the stage name Xiaoyi stands in the doorway to try to attract customers at the Chunai 98 club on January 11, 2015 in Nanning, Guangxi Province, southern China. As views on sexuality slowly evolve in modern China, the club which is a rare showcase of performances by a small group of cross-dressing Chinese men has slowly gained some local acceptance. Many of the performers come from small cities in other provinces, having left their families in search of acceptance, employment and a sense of community. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
