    Yeah, don't dude. US is a fucking nightmare but China is on another level when it comes to state persecution of LGBT.

        I think conversion centres being mainstream/occasionally mandatory and a country wide ban on depicting homosexual relationships in media and is a pretty big indication of their feelings towards the matter. Sources . Maybe the state would be different to western LGBT foreigners however- especially in capitals as noted above.

        Maybe I went overboard, true. But choosing China out of every country to travel to when LGBT? :/ Also, I hope this sub understands criticism of China ≠ endorsement of American imperialism.

          Do we need to have another struggle session on why western NGOs are not valid sources for anything?

              Yoy shouldn't uncritically trust any source of media. Everyone in that business has an agenda and just about everyone is willing to lie or mislead to advance it.

              That, however, doesn't mean that certain sources like Western Liberal NGOs aren't especially untrustworthy due to their history of lying to advance the interests of western hegemony.
