There's a bunch of articles in western press about crack downs on queer communities in China, as well as feminist communities. What's the reality? Is it actually happening? Why?

the party has been pushing hard recently for normalising queerness and fighting against reactionary elements in Chinese society. I don;t see why they would then turn around and shut down queer people. there's been some reports some companies have taken down LGBT accounts online and such, but very little in material 'repression' by the state. the Shanghai pride was cancelled this year, and other things have been able to go on so it's not corona virus, but I did hear they were in contact with the US consulate. I know the CPC really doesn't like organising politically outside of the party, so it might be they only want them to push these ideas in the party than form their own interest groups and political base outside of that being seen as 'subversive'
