  1. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with such people wanting to get married privately, but then why should they expect rest of society to bend over backward for them, and allow them to adopt kids? Because USA does so? How will adopted kids in such families grow up influenced by their "parent's" orientation? Will other kids in normal families make fun of them in school etc? Why subject adopted kids to the prospect of growing up in such families, instead of a normal family? Even in America, there is much opposition towards liberal LGBT issues, such as transgender bathroom. Imagine if you are straight girl, and suddenly a transgender enters your toilet. Won't this also be vulnerable to exploitation by perverts, dressing up to enter women's toilets? In Orlando Nightclub there was even tragic shooting at a gay nightclub, presumably perpetrated by a conservative against such LGBT issues. I believe that China should create our own path regarding homosexuality issues, instead of just attempting to emulate America, just because attitudes are different in USA than in China. If you want society to sacrifice for you as an individual, then in the same way, you will have to be willing to make sacrifices for society as well. Anyway, this is just my feelings regarding such issues.

  2. +Thessalian Just because the West accepts such behavior, doesn't automatically mean that other countries should follow suite. Even in America, there is opposition towards transgender bathroom. Imagine if you are straight girl, and suddenly a transgender woman just walks into the ladies room. Won't this be vulnerable to exploitation by perverts dressing up to enter woman's bathroom? There was even a tragic shooting at a gay club in Orlando, presumably perpetrated by a conservative who was against LGBT issues.

  3. +Paul Adonia Which such studies? It's not just about raising the kid right alone, but in China the kids will inevitably be made fun of by other kids in school for coming from a gay family. Also depending on the gender of the child and the family, how would you expect a son to have a father figure in a lesbian family or for a daughter to have motherly role model in all men family? I don't know how much you know about raising kids, but in general, kids need both a father figure and a mother. Furthermore, nobody in such a gay family is linked by blood at all, and the kids are all adopted. What makes you think that water is thicker than blood?

  4. The Guillotine I mostly agree with you. It's up to Western countries if they want to erode their own societal values and to redefine the family unit altogether. But China should not be under pressure to reform our values, simply because Westerners do so. Young children too are the ones most susceptible to being influenced by the wrong parties or role models. As for homosexuality being a mental or genetic disease, there exists a possibility that it is such. There are cases of people functioning as ordinary citizen of society even while suffering from minor mental illness. If the problem turns out to be genetic, then perhaps in the future, scientists will be able to correct it genetically, as already many scientists are experimenting with curing genetic diseases through gene manipulation.

  5. +Jennifer Lee Firstly, in an adopted straight family, the orphan will already know (once he's told) that his parents aren't his true blood parents. Even in a real family, with a child who grew up without father (an unmarried mother for example) will already face immense societal pressure (from his classmates, etc) What makes you think growing up in a gay family will not stress the child? Are you the one growing up with gay parents here? Why is it a person jumping off a cliff, is not an "irrational demand", according to what you said? The person making such statement could be mentally ill, and people who try to restrain him are considered "bullying" him? Who are you to make judgements and joke about this issue here? Your beliefs are your own, and China's societal beliefs are ours. Its your choice if you choose to allow a person to jump off the cliff, because you people believe in "rights of the individual" over the rights of society. I mean, in USA, they have freedom to bear firearms like guns, and because of this, robbing a bank is much easier, due to availability of guns, so why should China strive towards "individual rights" over that of society? Your study of trans bathroom laws applies only to USA. How accurate will they be when they are applied to China? China has about 5 times more people (in fact, China is world's most populous country) than America, so would such a study be representative of China, if trans toilets were implemented in China? You said 70% of people were harassed in toilets, which is bad, but imagined if perverts decide to exploit a loophole in trans gender toilets. Such loopholes may not be obvious at first, until they are discovered. More laws, only means more chances for loopholes, in my opinion. Like I said, why should China accept LGBT as equals to heterosexuals? Because US does it? You say it doesn't change the lives of ordinary people? Then what about families wanting their gay son to carry on the family line by producing an heir? You don't know anything about China, but presume to impose your views on us?

  6. The way you argue is similar to those of SJWs. They don't really care about the issue at hand, but they want to "feel good" so they argue without caring about the consequences, so that they can feel good about themselves all. They have poor understanding of real world problems, but think they understand exactly how the world works. You may be ethnic Chinese, but your mindset isn't "Chinese". Chinese people have a name for this sort or people, which is "White Left" 白左 because you behave exactly like the extreme leftists. 你这白左已经被西方媒体绑架了。 你去管自己国家的事，不要多管中国闲事。

  7. When these people get married, they cannot biologically carry on the blood line (at least with current technology level) so isn't that considered ancestral suicide, akin to jumping off a cliff? Why is it considered bullying for restrain such people? Orphans can't be choosers. They have such tragic circumstances, yet why should they be subject to further pressure growing up under such family? What about their school life, classmate teasing, and what if their future girlfriend or boyfriend think of their family when they grow up? You weren't raised in such a family, so how do you know what they are going through? Since you understand China is more conservative in general, then what's wrong taking a conservative approach towards implementing such laws? There is no urgent need to implement such law, and it only benefits a small majority of trans people, while possibly exposing more exploitation? And there ARE cases of trans bathroom exploitation that you are simply unaware of. -The University of Toronto changing its policy on gender neutral bathrooms after male students within the University’s Whitney Hall student residence were caught holding their cellphones over female students’ shower stalls and filming them as they showered. -A biological man, Christopher Hambrook, 37, claimed to be ‘trans’ so as to gain access to and prey on women at two Toronto shelters was jailed ‘indefinitely’ -A man who wore a wig and women’s clothing to disguise himself as he allegedly used a concealed camera to record “hours” of video of women in a Los Angeles-area department store restroom.” Source: nobathroombill com/examples

  9. I agree with The Guillotine. In the UK, the age limit for gender change has fallen from 10 years to a mere 3 years. Kids aged 3, can already apply for gender change and with their parent's approval. At such tender age of 3-8 years, and these children can already determine that they are born in the wrong body? While they are only allowed to formally decide at puberty, they have already been pumped with hormones prior to puberty, and such hormones is bound to influence their choice of gender identity.

  10. +Joniquaz gurl I said "presumably" in that statement didn't I? How can anyone actually prove whether an individual is actually conservative or liberal? You would have to be able to read minds in order to know someone's true stance. The closest physical evidence would be the individual's actual "actions" which in this case, is the tragic shooting in a gay club by this gunman. Just like how you presuming that he is possibly gay. But according to sources, dozens of other witnesses said that they had never seen Mateen at the nightclub. A spokesperson for the owner of the Pulse nightclub, called the statement that Mateen had been a regular patron "untrue and totally ridiculous". Also, if you are a gunman planning an attack at a gay nightclub, won't you disguise yourself and condition yourself so as to successfully infiltrate your target site prior to your attack? He could be possibly gathering intelligence in those places and planning his assault to inflict as much damage as possible, but that does not necessarily mean he was gay. All in all, I never claimed actual proof, I only cited Orlando shooting as an example of how LGBT in America is not viewed favorably by everyone in America. I do not want such shooting to happen to America, and neither do I want such tragedy to happen to China as well, and hope that China can learn from this tragedy that's all.
