they banned Broke Back Mountain too. the level of offical intolerance for homo-sexuality I experience over there blew my mind. It was offically considered a mental disorder until 2001.......funny thing is, that male-prostitution thrives over there. |

No kidding. Well, I won't be going to China any time soon... New Hampshire works out just fine for me. |

I dont think it is weird at all.
Gays are those who encountered a kind of mind sickness which made them to be sexual perverts. I am against gay. I am homophobic.
Gays are patients. they should stay in hospitals. |

There is no medical evidence to support your irrational fears. Though I'm sure they don't like you either... ;-) |

One would think China would like gays, since they can't have kids as easily as a man/woman couple can - it would cut down on the population

This doesn't suprise me in the least. The reason behind this is due to lack of education for the most part I think. And it's also no surprise that male prostitution is so rampant because a country that is so homophobic would make for an environment of fear in which the gay and lesbian citizens would have to take their sexuality 'underground'.

I think China has shown the world how to responsibly procreate by incentives to couples who only choose to have one child. If more countries instituted this practice, we wouldn't have such an enormous overpopulation problem. |

Isn't China the place where people abort female babies because males are more desired? Or is that an urban legend....? |

No, it is not an urban legend. Worse, the government also forces abortions and sterilzations, and the UN (UNFPA) pays for it. |

Then to me, this doesn't show any responsibility in precreation at all.... |

I know i complain about the intollerance and homophobia here in the US but outside of the US it is multiplied by lik 100. In so many countires it is still illegal to have consentual homosexual sex, and still there are lik 4 countries where it can be punished by death, Iran, Yemen, Saudia Arabia, and Sudan. And in places through out the middle east, africa, the carrabian, eastern europe, and ex soviet statalittes. although the law doesnt say u can kill gay people, the homophobia is so fierce it results in constant assult and bashing and the police or other officals do nothing about it
Whats slightly ironic about homophobic countires, is that they have the worst problems with HIV/AIDS in heterosexual people b/c they still view it as a gay disease. Their ignorance will lead to their death eventually. |

We have our benefits, but other countries also have theirs. |

Agreed.
That said, I also think given the benefits that exist in the U.S., it's embaressing that homosexuals don't have full rights. It's absolutely embaressing.
Edit: I borked the quotes. |

| At least they stand on one side in China. I find we're very hypocritical about homosexuality here in the states. Having said that, I think we have created one of the most satisfying places for gays and lesbians to live in this world. I'm proud of the tolerance my country has developed over the past decades. |

The tolerance that has developed is a good thing. It's also a natural thing. People evolve, things change. To be honest, I'd like to believe the old writings in which people were stoned to death for their certain lifestyles were appropriate for that time. However, it just isn't moral by any modern standard. |

Hopefully there will come a time when China can fall in line with those modern standards like the rest of us. |

Gay people have a perfectly logical reason to be gay, because they are gay.That is logical enough. |
