Tongqi ("tongCHEE", ) is the neologism for Chinese women who have married gay men. Similarly, tongfu ("tongFOO", ) is the corresponding neologism for Chinese men who have married lesbian women. Liu Dalin, among the first sexologists in mainland China, estimated that 90% of gay men in China marry a heterosexual woman.
