Homosexuality in China was regarded as a normal facet of life in China, prior to Western impact of 1840 onwards. I've never understood it, I like women too much. When I was in high school I always laughed at things like Batman is gay because I was a bit naive. I always thought people were joking.

Its just a gayer culture. Similar to how European culture is "gayer" to American culture.

Its not homosexuality just gayer.

However, despite recent changes, no civil rights law exists to address discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The media tends to censor positive depictions of gay couples in films and television shows and households headed by same-sex couples are not permitted to adopt children and do not have the same rights as heterosexual married couples. etc

  No idea but personally I like gays; i've had a bottle put over my head, my jaw fractured with a boot, i've been threatened with a knife, a screw-driver, and none of it by any bloke wearing a dress. Sexuality isn't something we choose anyway. I've got a 12 year old student who it is clear to me is gay and his idiot mother confides in my wife that the boy's going through a faze where he's interested in gay porn. Newsflash love, that ain't a faze, your boy's a fruit. But no, she'll probably pressure the poor kid to do what she wants him to do and he'll never be able to be himself. People are petty in their fears.
