Take this with a grain of salt, as I am Chinese from a medium sized city (only like 13,000,000 population)
LGBT issues in China is not perfect, but it is getting better in larger cities and even my own. The case may be different in smaller cities, more religious places and rural areas, but it is getting normalised on Zoomer social media, and LGBT+ spaces exist in larger cities (that to my understanding do have a fair amount of chasers so not perfect). There are gay bars and such in Shanghai, that aren't exactly operating in secret from the CPC.
Yeah, that's not what I call good. I don't think there's a country on Earth I'd call good for queer people. Australia is pretty bad and I think that's worse than Australia.
It is however improving instead of backsliding. Like it might be due to social circles I'm in but I don't see hordes frothing at the mouth at LGBT as paedophiles, groomers, or retweeting JK Rowling. It's slow but it's substantially better than what it was a decade ago, which is substantially better than a decade before that.
Well if that trend continues, then China will deserve praise in 10-30 years. But America has taught us there's no guarantee progress will always continue.
