  Don't forget that most post-Communist countries didn't become LGBT paradises. They're rightist hellscapes now. One of the worst disservices we could make to Chinese LGBT people is advocate for the dissolution of the Communist goverment.

  Absolutely. China is still developing and growing its ideas towards LGBT people (like every other country on Earth) it follows that the self-censorship will mellow with time.

  It's a relatively new phenomenon, the Mainland produced some (questionable at times) LGBT content up to 10 years ago. It's not a feature of "Chinese media" by any means. Online/independent communities keep making it. It will get better.

  Liberals will only care about two good-looking actors/actresses kissing on a tv show before they contemplate the reality of being gay in China. Are LGBT people protected from housing discrimination, can they be fired for mentioning off-hand their sexuality? Who cares! They only want to consume Chinese LGBT people like any other product.

  I can tell that China does censor LGBT content, I don't know why.

  But from my (not-Chinese) perspective the LGBT censorship is not... vile. Compare it to the Hays code and we aren't forced to watch LGBT people being killed off, raped or cured. It's a "wink-wink, two bros" thing. Tied with "did I mention that straight people are normal and being gay is a bit funny".

  Most prosecuted cases are definitely tied to pornography and not being LGBT. Which rubs liberal the wrong way but the government is right to do so.
