Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Homophobia manifests differently in China to the west. You're right it's incredibly safe to be openly gay in the streets of China's cities, but speak to Chinese queer people about how their families reacted to them coming out and you'll see that conservative attitudes are still very prevalent, especially amongst older people.
Yeah all the queer Chinese people I've talked to about this have told me the only issues they've had is with their family members being homophobic about them specifically. Many people I've talked to didn't have this experience because their parents were fine with it, so it's not everyone's experience, but it does seem to be the most common manifestation of homophobia, directly from family to the person being discriminated against.
Apparently there is even some conversion therapy type outfits that parents put their kids in
๐ lol sorry, tbh my parents are coming around but its been a decade of work, forcing myself to family events and continuing to be myself
