Homosexuality in China
Freedom or Conservative ？
----Homosexual in China
China was considered as a conservative society where do not get really open to sexual discussion. Even now, dating in high-school is considered too early and does not appropriate in China, which would cause problems in school if being found by teachers or parents. Meanwhile, Chinese attitude towards homosexual is more open than the West society. The night life for gay people are so various and at least among the young, we do not avoid talking about this topic. When the whole world is under the discussion of “equal marriage” and the homosexuality are fighting for their freedom, the homosexuals in China seems so quite. They do not fight for their right, they do not stay high profile. It is difficult for us even to know about the real life of homosexuality in China. Whether they are pleased with what they have or there is too many tension that they are too afraid to even say their problems aloud?
In order to get an answer which is based on the reality rather than theory, I interviewed my gay friends in china before writing this essay. They are most around my age and I asked them a few question in general. Some did admit that they have a peaceful life and do not really want to fight for any right or freedom. HuangXin claimed, “I don 't feel that there are any problems in China that I 've come across. If we aren 't too loud and proud about it then the subject doesn 't even cross anyone 's mind.” Yet, “doesn 't come across” doesn 't mean the problems do not exist. From my point of view, people in my age is still too young to realize the real difficulties in their life. So when my question comes to future or marriage, most of my interviewees have no ideas and some said that they would probably marry a female eventually. Only one guy was so clear that he would try to immigrate and get married in Canada. On the other hand, despite of limited authority and freedom for homosexuality in China, the do have a peaceful life
