Opinion | China’s LGBT community doesn’t need Western ‘gay pride’
www.scmp.com
For LGBT people in China, sexuality is part, not all, of who they are as their familial role and national identity take precedence. What they want most is love and acceptance, not pride parades.

US-backed news outlets love to exaggerate and complain about China’s supposed anti-LGBT policies that don’t actually exist. There’s some really good discussion around this on r/Sino Reddit.

    About where I’m at. Chauvinistic westerners look at the LGBT enclaves of other nations, especially farther east, and tend to forget… The only reason the bastardization of Pride that the West observes even existed in the first place was because it used to be a riot against oppression. Nowadays, all I see is what used to be a remembrance, turned into a ceremonial licking of the boot that stomps our necks.
