To add on, yes there is homophobia, but not the religious "they're going to hell" type. Purely from a reproductive/family lineage stand point. People don't care as much societally, unless it's their own children, because that'll end their own family lineage (but science babies is possible). Especially if it's their only offspring from the result of the one child policy, the parents can be quite upset. If they had like 5 kids, and 1 is homosexual, most modern Chinese people would not care. But laws wise it's still very don't ask don't tell, so there's not many rights, but laws are generally not actively vicious.

Internally, China has been producing a lot of queer media. TV shows, comics, novels, animations etc. so far they mainly just need to not be "pornographic"

The crackdown on the media is bundled with restrictions on overt sexual content (gay or straight), video games, foreign media depicting "feminine" men (ie. Korean media), and whatever else they think distracts from baby making.

But queer media is judged a bit more harshly for sure.

They've been having a huge crackdown because they believe it's degrading the morals of the young and making them not want to marry and have enough kids. They're cracking down on gooner shit on the men side. The crackdown on gay stuff is targeting the "fujoshi" (women who fetishist gays).

I learnt Mandarin, they call each other comrade which also means gay in China today :), lol
