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.
