A drag queen performer applies makeup at a bar in Dali, Yunnan province, November 23, 2009. Local authorities in southwestern Yunnan Province are to convert the bar into a "common room for partner education" for the gay community, as part of an official initiative to break social stigma against gay men, days after the health minister warned that homosexual sex has become a main factor in the spread of AIDS in the nation, Xinhua News Agency reported.
