Gay couple defy family to hold wedding party in Beijing
Angry son confronts his father at a ceremony in Beijing restaurant
An elderly gay couple went ahead with their wedding ceremony at a Beijing restaurant on Wednesday despite family opposition.
Photos uploaded onto their microblog late on Wednesday night showed the couple, one in a black tuxedo and the other in strapless wedding gown, being blessed by about 25 guests.
One said he was a retired teacher and his partner was a migrant working in Beijing. He did not disclose details such as their names, ages, previous marital status or how they met.
"How come we had the blessings from other people but not from my own son?" he asked.
Before their wedding, they had posted a series of intimate photos online, including one showing them semi-clothed and holding each other in bed.
