Ok I'll be the bad guy: yes, the Chinese are using their social controls to reduce bourgois influence on their society, which includes bourgois homonormativity (recuperated and defanged token support of gay visibility). Homosexuality and Marxism did not always go hand and hand, people who blamed things like cuban internment of guys on machismo completely overlooked something called "bourgeois excesses". It's the typical "manly man labor vs decadent office soyboy with french aristocrat facepaint" shit, and that's ignoring the push for austere orderliness that gives a confucian character to China's version of the new soviet man. The boomers remember this and didn't have to get woke like Castro did when he lost his russian sugar daddies and had to make himself more palitable to Canada and Europe.

:bruh-moment:
Yes, I'm certain that the intention is to foster a revolutionary proletarian queerness. When your 'critical support' has you sounding like a faux-woke fascist, maybe just take the L ffs?
You are bootlicking by justifying bourgeois chauvinism. Look at the values of the people who did the Russian and Chinese Revolutions. They weren't conservatives
You do know that historical norms are different at different times, right? And that you don't have to try and justify things just because China is doing them, right?
