For LGBT people in China, sexuality is part, not all, of who they are as their familial role and national identity take precedence. What they want most is love and acceptance, not pride parades.
the idea that someone might genuinely not be irreparably disgusted with their own country’s culture, and in fact might actively want to participate in it or even identify with it, is admittedly borderline eldritch to me.
Just the idea of having some kind of national culture or identity that’s nice is pretty foreign to me too
