    Something I'm curious about: I've heard that attitudes in China, especially outside of the cities and among the older generations, can be pretty conservative and that families might not accept their children being gay. But I've also heard that there is very little hate crime against gay people, unlike other parts of the world where a lot of the homophobic attitudes are rooted in religion. Is this true? Or if it is, is it only true in certain cities?

    • @cpc9563
      @cpc9563 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      I am not gay, but I am Chinese.
      I can assure you that gay people will absolutely not have to worry about violence just because they're gay.
      Violence, in general, is abhorred in Confucian culture.
      I'd go so far as to say there wouldn't be any out-and-out discrimination (as in not being allowed into a restaurant), but like I said, I'm not gay, so I don't want to speak on gay people's behalf. It's just that I've never seen anything like that.
      But definitely no violence.

    I think the whole pride month is a very bad thing for society. Don't get me wrong. It's okay that everybody should have the freedom to live as he or she wants to. But as a society, the ideals have to be kept up. Otherwise the society will ruin itself. And that's what I loved in China, where I lived 10 years ago. At that time, I went accidentally in a pub in Shanghai, in which a gay porn was running at the TVs. It was not a big deal, we left the pub again after one beer. And I thought that this level of tolerance is exactly the right one. But: the "promotion" of any thing other than the ideal of husband and wife is bad. We realize this now in Germany. And I'm afraid, that China will take a bad course - the more they would follow the Western examples, the worse it will get.
