I hereby admit that I am a heterosexuality, just stating a fact, and I don't feel that I am more normal or morally superior than homosexuals. Because in my opinion, homosexuals and heterosexuality people are equally normal and completely equal in personality.

Who made you homosexual? Who made you have a one night stand? Who made you switch partners? I'm just telling you that those who want to do this actually have the right, even those who don't want to do it have the right to do it. Do you still want to hang homosexuals like some countries do? You can't. Because we have entered modern times, not the Middle Ages. You have to get used to having people with different values in this world, and you have to tolerate having people with different sexual orientations and lifestyles. You have to gradually get used to the modern new order of having the right to do things but not doing them.

So in this contemporary society, a completely new view of homosexuality is rapidly spreading among the audience. The tone of this view is that homosexuality does not harm others and has no negative impact on society. Its nature is equivalent to alcoholism or free love. It is not a crime or evil, nor a psychological illness, but a way of life belonging to a minority, People have become more tolerant of the sexual orientation of the minority who are different from the ordinary people.

What I want to say to gay parents is: First of all, there is no need to blame yourself. To a large extent, the sexual orientation of children is not what the parents did wrong. The cause remains to be investigated. Secondly, we should accept children, whether they are gay or heterosexuality. What matters is the happiness and joy of a child's life. If children are not accepted in their own way and constantly try to change them, they will not have a happy life.

Regarding the unclear legal status of homosexuality in China, there are generally two views among homosexuals: one is a conservative view that affirms the status quo; The other is a radical viewpoint that denies the status quo.
People who hold a positive view of the current situation believe that there will be no specific crackdown on homosexuality in China. Generally, arrest activities are linked to public security issues. I believe that the main difficulties faced by homosexuals in China are the pressure of traditional marriage and the lack of media information.
People who hold a negative and more radical attitude view it this way: "The legal status of homosexuality in China is not clear, and there are no specific provisions to consider homosexuality illegal. But everyone knows in their hearts how to deal with it, and the hearts of the public security organs and laws know that they follow their feelings. The bitterness is that the old Bai surname, who said you committed the crime of hooliganism, is guilty, and why should I say I did not?

Recently, a survey was conducted and it was found that the acceptance of homosexuality by the Chinese public is quite high, possibly due to the lack of a widely believed religion, while the main reason for discrimination against homosexuality in the West is religious dogma.
In terms of how you view homosexual behavior, 20% of Chinese urban citizens believe that it is completely correct; Three adults believe that it is' a bit wrong ', but not completely wrong; Nearly four adults believe it is' completely wrong '. Nearly one adult has an unknown attitude.
If you know a person is homosexual, would you still be friends with them? "The answer to this question fully demonstrates the kindness of Chinese people: over 60% of people say they will still maintain a friendship, and only one-third of people refuse to be friends with homosexuals. It is worth noting that this proportion greatly exceeds the proportion of people who fully accept homosexuality. That is to say, although a considerable number of people think homosexuality is wrong, they will still make friends with this person who they do not understand and do not agree with his sexual orientation.
——Public Attitudes towards Homosexuality
The values of homosexuality can be summarized into several categories: the first category believes that homosexuality is a sin, the second category believes that homosexuality is a disease, and the third category believes that homosexuality is a way of life that is no different from ordinary people. These three viewpoints are progressive in sequence.
——The Values of Homosexuality
In the spread of AIDS, homosexuals are a very important group. Some homosexuals in foreign countries only have same-sex sexual relationships and do not have heterosexual relationships. In our country, due to differences in cultural traditions and social beliefs, homosexuals often have their own families, with both same-sex and heterosexual relationships. This has brought great difficulties to the prevention and control of AIDS in China. Because rectal mucosal tissue is very prone to damage, the risk of infection during same-sex sex is greater than during heterosexual sex.
