> My personal take: The CCP doesn’t have much of an interest in LGBTQ+ people. Under Xi Jinping, the CCP has been moving in a more socially conservative direction, and becoming more opposed to LGBT rights – see e.g. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-beijing-lgbt-center-rcna85528 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-beijing-lgbt-center... The CCP would still prefer to not talk about the topic, as opposed to e.g. Russia where the government seeks to exploit anti-LGBT sentiment for domestic political benefit. But it is moving its position from "we'll tolerate LGBT activism so long as it stays low key" to "we won't tolerate LGBT activism"
