That’s why All Out worked with Chinese photographer Shawn Zhang to present “Better together,” his very personal photography and story-telling project aimed to bring together the stories of ordinary LGBT+ people from all corners of China and share them with the world to promote love and understanding for China’s beautiful and diverse queer community.
