More than ever is still not a lot. While it's moving in the right direction, there is still a large amount of cultural reactionary pushback.

+1% support is more than before, yeah. It’s still illegal to marry. And please, no whataboutism

China... eh... sort of...

Not in the villages tho, no, you'd get disowned. People who lives in, or have lived in, cities are probably more open minded.

I think the problem is not really "gay is sin", but more like "what about my grandchildren", know what I mean? Culturally, bloodlines are important. I mean, they literally have a whole geneology book tradition. I have one dating back to the 1200s (male ancestors only).

From what I know, its way more acceptable than... say Russia. Russia is just like next-level of fucked up. Seriously, as much I dislike CCP, I'd rather let PRC win than Russian Federation, the Kremlin is just so much worse.

TLDR for LGBT in terms of how people treat you is, from best to worst: Blue Cities in Blue States in the US > Tier 1 Cities in China > Red Cities in Red States in the US

In terms of government... well you just don't protest about it and kinda keep it low-key, you don't make a scene, you just keep quiet about it. You won't have any anti-discrimination laws if someone does find out and discriminate based on that.

If your ancestry is rural, your family is probably gonna disown you, but I doubt you'll get lynched, but your village will gossip about you, I overhear a lot of gossip when my parents talk on the phone.

Being Gay is more acceptable than being Trans. If I, hypothetically told my mom I want to be a girl, she'd call me a “變態” try to get me hospitalized because "I got poisoned by western ideology". But if I say I "have a boyfriend", then my mom is gonna laugh at me and then be like: "what about my grandchildren, you are gonna actually eventually take this seriously and find a real partner right?" and she'd assume I just found a friend that I got very close to, like as a brother or something.

So its really just Christian Religion vs Filial Piety/Confucism. Is there even a place without either? Maybe someone need to build a island somewhere without outdated conservative ideologies?
