Qiao Qiao and girlfriend

According to Qiao Qiao ( 乔乔), China's first out lesbian singer, some of them are.

The singer of "Ai Bu Fen" (爱不分), a mandopop tune of same sex love, and owner of Beijing's longest-running lesbian night, Feng Ba, told The Southern Metropolis Weekly that not only does she have a girlfriend but that some of the Supergirls are also into girls.

"They know who they are," she said, but did not give names.

The headline from the interview reads:

"Qiao Qiao comes out of the closet and outs several Supergirls"

Qiao Qiao's revelations were followed by a flurry of blogs posting intimate shots of Supergirl contender Xu Fei ( 许飞) with another girl. Xu, visibly upset and reportedly furious about the postings, was voted out of the competition last Friday. "Maybe, now is a good time for you to go," said one of the judges.

Sorry to get into this so late, but I have to disagree with Justin on this one. This is basically dreck.

The last two sentences are the worst part of the article. The author fails to demonstrate that the reason Xu Fei was voted out of the competition was because of anything mentioned previously.

Similarly, the quote by one of the judges is taken out of context. The author offers nothing but innuendo. This isn't news. The article does little more than insinuate. That might be ok for the Weekly World News, but if Danwei wants to be considered a credible news source, it should do better.
