Media in China on Wednesday hailed what was believed to be the first public instance of a same-sex wedding in the world's most populous country.
Zeng Anquan, 45, and Pan Wenjie, 27, married in a ceremony attended by 200 friends in the southwestern city of Chengdu on January 3, according to Agence France-Presse.
