Q: Is it historically accurate that the early rulers of 'China' were homosexual / pedophilic ?

I will bring my inquiry to a relevant point depending on whether or not anyone cares to discuss the issue.

Much like the early rulers of all civilisations, then.

 

In Athenian Greece it was normal for men from the upper classes to have wives, and pursue young boys as lovers.

I feel like I should make it clear here that I am LGBT rights advocate. I happen to be Hetero, but I am also a Right to Decide for Oneself proponent (duh, if all parties participate in free-will).

liantohusin:

The only thing that clear in here is that your ignorance about other country, civilizations and perhaps history lessons, I actually wonder if you ever read newspaper.

Umm... I think pretty much all ancient civilizations did this... 

 

Christianity and other religions came and obviously denounced it (which it should be). And the reason why I say it SHOULD BE DENOUNCED is because children are simply too young to understand what is happening to them and too easily manipulated.  

 

So can't really point any fingers there. angry

I'm not looking to point fingers, I was just curious about the lingering influence on Chinese culture.  I will point out a few things I wish someone would help me to understand.

Age limit in China,;  is it 14 or 12 ?

 Males arm-in-arm, massaging one another

males staring at me to the extreme, yet seemingly oblivious to attractive females nearby.

males in queues pressed against next male

males on bicycles sandwiched between other males (obvious genitalia contact)

300+ million gender imbalance

cultural adoration of male / degradation of female

 

 ok, I will comment/expand on thought if anyone cares to comment.

Historically people used to marry when puberty set in. People also used to worship the sun. People have changed, but still not enough.

Of course not, everyone knows that 100% of the pedophiles are white. When a 50 years old Chinese man has sex with a 16 years old Chinese girl it's true love <3 When a 50 years old White man has sex with a 16 years old Chinese girl he is a pedo who must die!

Depending on the Yes or No of the answer what is your next step gonna be???

diverdude1:

My next step will be to ask if others think that the constant staring may be an indication of latent homosexuality.  I think most people who have read a bit of the history of China would agree it was a fairly widespread practice, at least up until the mid 20th century.
