Chinese Regulator Calls Homosexuality ‘Abnormal’ and Bans Gay Content From the Internet
China released a new regulation Friday banning any display of “abnormal sexual behaviors” — including homosexuality — in online video and audio content.
The regulation, published by the China Netcasting Services Association (CNSA), lays out strict censorship rules for online content ranging from movies and documentaries to cartoons and educational videos, according to Reuters.
Under the new rules, content will be edited or even banned if it promotes “luxurious lifestyles,” shows “violent and criminal processes in detail,” demonstrates “obscenity” including masturbation or displays “abnormal sexual behaviors" such as homosexuality.
The new rules sparked debates and oppositions on Chinese social media. Li Yinhe, China’s leading scholar and advocate of free sexuality, said in a Weibo post that under these regulations, “all audio-visual art will be revoked. We want freedom to show homosexuality in all its glory."
“Trying to regulate and censor people’s desires is as absurd as trying to regulate and censor people’s sexual appetites.”
That's exactly what the government is seeking to do - not to allow its country to become immorally decadent like the USA.
Geng Le, the creator of Blued, one of China’s homosexual dating apps, and a grand marshal at this year’s NYC Pride Parade, also disagreed with the rules. He pointed to the fact that China has removed homosexuality as a mental illnesses in 2001, and that the World Health Organization had done so in as early as 1990. But unbeknown the Le, this is because the APA was forced to change its position many years back, because homosexuals lobbied the change and forced the issue. So they voted. That's right, they voted on science.

So quoting the APA change of view of homosexuality not longer being a mental health problem now a healthly lifestyle choice is false. APA was forced to change its view both by internal and external manipulation by homosexuals who wanted their immoral lifestyle recognized.
“Gay Voice,” a Chinese-language LGBT non-profit magazine, said on social media that homosexuality is just as normal and should not be treated differently.

But we already know this is simply untrue - historically, biologically, and even common sense says this is simply sexual lust. Homosexuality has always been seen as sodomy, nothing to be celebrated but condemned.
