Oh, come on. With Penn's admitting that it could be difficult to appreciate him in the next sentence, you know that the current translation would make it seem like Penn was thanking Hollywood for being tolerant of Penn himself, not the gay community.

Eastman simply cannot help wearing his patriot-Chinese rear end over his head.

Eastman is living in denial and in the closet.

Do you EVER get the point? It's not about Chinese acceptance of Sean Penn. It's about Chinese acceptance of homosexuals.

That's a stretch, but even if it's true, it doesn't explain the kisses that were edited out, or the deletion of Black's story.

Gays ought to be tolerant of the government's intolerance for them, is what you're saying? Wow. Good thing you weren't leading any civil rights movements.

why care about chinese acceptance of Sean Penn? he is known maybe only by 1%. most important is how his folks are treating him, especially when he visited iraq before the war. americans really have a pretty short memory span, not only about him but also about themselves.

I am no commie-homo-loving son of a gun, but I have to say the translation was pretty accurate. It did reflect Sean's surprise stemming from his own acknowledgment that he makes it hard for people to appreciate him. Gays across China ought to lay off on this one, and so should gay right activists. 宽容 means tolerance (again, very accurate according to his message in the speech). Isn't that what we all want?
