    A week later response I know but homophobia in China really started with the spread of Buddhism in the 6-7th centuries AFAIK. From my limited understanding Buddhist believed that anything that didn't produce anything was worldly and bad, so from their understanding homosexual relations didn't produce anything because no children. well into the Tang dynasty homosexuality was becoming taboo but for women it was considered much more taboo, do to the patriarchal nature of Han Chinese society.
