Quoting Anna Leach, "GayStarNews", 2 May 2012:
At the first night of Strawberry music festival in Shanghai on Sunday, headlining act Top Floor Circus made a bold declaration for gay rights, unfurling a giant rainbow flag on stage. When the band returned to the Love Stage for an encore, they performed a song by Leslie Cheung, the popular Hong Kong actor and singer and one of the first openly gay Chinese celebrities, who committed suicide nine years ago.
[...]
This heart-warming moment, the first time a big band in China has made such an absolute statement in support of same-sex love, was germinated before the gig when Top Floor Circus posted on the Weibo account that their set at Strawberry Festival would be 'dedicated to all kinds of love: gay, straight, bisexual'. Because of that, rainbow flags were decorated throughout the crowd and Nvai did well selling them for 10RMB ($1.59, €1.20) each.
[...]
The flag, shown on a photo and a video footage of the event, has Chinese ideograms overlapping the yellow and green, central stripes of the flag. The upper part of the ideograms is red/orange, their lower part is yellow/white.

Strictly speaking Leslie Cheung was bisexual, but was (and remains) Asia's preeminent gay icon all the same.
The ideograms read "Comrades Love the Music Festival" (Here "Comrades" is a "positive" colloquial term for homosexuals).

Is the term in its original form a different one then the "comrades" used by communists?

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongzhi  for an explanation

Must cause a few giggles nowaday when someone talk about comrades and "members of the CCP" in the same sentence.
