Xinyu Wen traveled to Thailand in June, planning a two-week vacation around Bangkok’s Pride parade. But the 28-year-old ended up staying a month and a half, soaking up the Thai capital’s thriving LBGTQ+ community.

        You’ll get protection if discrimination passes a certain point, but it’s really more of a “hey you shouldn’t treat people that way” and not a “hey you shouldn’t treat gay people that way.”

        A lot of older Chinese people just feel that the Western LGBT environment is rather odd: the rampant sexualization and PDA is at odds with the traditionally conservative culture. If the LGBT movement had adopted a more traditional protest scheme rather than the flair of flamboyance it has today, it would have seen much more support in China imo.

        Also, a lot of Chinese TV has homoerotic undertones, idk what you’re watching.

            In the 90s when lgbt was quieter, they said what happens in my bedroom is my business. Well now its everyones business weather you like it or not. With gen z, if youre not one of them youre a homophobe. Screw your preferences.
