Last I’ve heard, there were some issues, but things were getting better. Now I have stumbled upon this headline and wish to know more details about the situation.

last i heard is a odd combination of confucianism with british colonial law, so being cis homosexual is not okay, being trans straight is kinda ok.

anyhow, that doesn't exempt china from criticism, it is a socialist country with a culture that somepoint in the past had normalized homosexual relationship to the point that taoist religion have a god protector of gay men, and comparing to its peers like cuba that has the most advanced legislation in regards to lgbtqia+ and definition of family
