Honestly, they're coming around, but they're still in the dark ages. Homosexuality is still considered a disruption to family ties and social harmony. People here hate HK, but that's probably one of the best imports they've taken after from Westerners. Macau too. Or really any big city, there's whisper networks.
And use VPNs to watch gay porn, but it may not be worth the risk. They are NOT kind to it.
"The dark ages" seems a little harsh from what I've read. I'd say they're maybe 25-30 years behind the U.S. in terms of LGBT rights but trending in the right direction.
that's good i guess. this shit should be discussed more. chinas cool for opposing capitalism, but i see a lot of people stanning them hard here, which basically requires them to ignore a lot of the information coming in this thread, which seems kinda fucked up.
dude 25-30 years ago gay people were being dragged behind trucks in the us
In some parts of the country. In other parts of the country same sex marriage was getting legalized. That mix of progress and repression looks like what I've read about China.
that is not good.
It's not. But they're also not in such a bad place that further progress seems impossible.
yeah, and china is fucking huge. and there's a couple people in this thread saying there's some really good parts that are open and they've got friends who are gay and trans who are doing fine, and it's dumb to judge a nation by it's worst parts. but it's still pretty disappointing.
Why haven't they embraced it as an extension of the one-child policy? Tangentially, how many children does the average closeted gay person in a hetero relationship have?

Absolutely.
Are there similar hate crimes in China?
