Everyday, the world continues to shrink thanks to technology, where great distance has become insignificant thanks to instant communication.

In the case of British Prime Minister David Cameron, the world of instant messaging or micro-blogging has gone beyond the distance, or beyond borders for that matter. While the rest of the world is into Twitter, China has its own called Weibo.

How does a British Prime Minister connect to a Chinese micro blogging site? His thoughts and opinions can now be read by citizens of China via Weibo and his recent thoughts reached some 779,000 followers with one topic in particular creating a huge wave of reaction.

This weekend, the United Kingdom has opened the way for same sex marriages in the country and Mr. Cameron posted his thoughts on Weibo, which has created a huge impact.

Cameron has called for more tolerance for marriages between two people of the same sex.

The Prime MInister praised the first same-sex marriages in Britain and called it a 'powerful message' on equality for all genders and of sexual preferences.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community in China monitored Cameron's thoughts and it instantly trended on Weibo, earning Mr. Cameron praises and inspired reactions from his followers.

Cameron said in his 'tweet' on Weibo, "When people's love is divided by law, it is the law that needs to change," which was translated in Chinese texts eliciting nearly 7,000 reactions and reposted over 17,000 times.

The reactions included positive and inspired feelings for China's LGBT, resulting in hopes among many that China may also open its doors to respecting the preferences and rights of LGBTs.

Several gay rights activists in China have tried to reach out to CHinese lawmakers but party members have little regard for LGBT rights, believing it is the least priority for a rapidly modernizing China.

Sometime in February in the southernmost city of Changsha, a young gay rights activist sued the provincial government of Hunan for refusing to accept a registration for a gay rights organization. The people's court in Hunan refused to accept the lawsuit as valid.

Mr. Cameron first opened his Weibo account in November and has since tweeted only 22 messages but this Friday, the overwhelming reaction from among supporters of LGBT rights sends a clear message: a new era of awareness for personal liberty may soon sweep across the nation.
