About half of China's gay people are not sure if they will come out of the closet within the next five years, but more gay women said they plan to come out over that period than gay men, according to a 2016 survey on the country's LGBT community released last Monday.

据上周一发布的一份《2016中国LGBT群体调查报告》显示，中国有近半数的同性恋表示，他们不确定自己是否会在未来五年内出柜，但是计划在这期间出柜的女性要比男性更多一些。
