...Other than their height—one woman towered above me at a jaw-dropping 6’1”—what struck me about the families was what they represented, or failed to represent. Collectively, they showcased nearly every social variation possible, from age to sexual orientation.

Her parents, having followed her trail north, get the feeling too. Her staid father (Ed Begley Jr.) unbuttons his sexual inhibitions, and her Blanche DuBois--like mom (a stingingly funny Patricia Clarkson) becomes a noted photographer and full-time free spirit...

Privately, people enjoy relative sexual freedom - subject, for the most part, to limits set by parents, not the Communist Party. But public crackdowns on pornography and sex-related events are common, as this month's anti-porn Internet-censorship measures have proven, and they are notoriously hard to predict. At mainland China's first gay-pride festival in Shanghai last week, officials shut down two film screenings and a performance of The Laramie Project, an American...
