Institutionally, there are legal protections and court precedent for protections based on sex, gender identity, and orientation, though not as strong as I'd like, and gay marriage is something that might be a while down the pipeline. Socially, there are a bunch of conservatives who think being gay or trans is yucky or whatever, but they all mind their own business unless it's their own family.

The younger generation is far better about this, visited Chongqing last year and it was hella gay.
