September 3rd, 2011 - 10:59 am ICT by IANSShanghai, Sep 3 (IANS) A pub owner in China who organised gay performances has been sentenced to five months in prison and fined 5,000 yuan ($783).
The Huangpu district people’s court jailed Wang Bing for pornography, the Shanghai Daily reported.
The 47-year-old owns a pub in the downtown area and is also a marketing director of a local arts venue. When he opened his pub, it failed to do good business, and he tried to organise gay performances to woo customers.

Wang pleaded guilty and was later jailed. The gay performer’s fate couldn’t be known.
