What does LGBT Advocacy Look Like in China?

In 2001, the Chinese Society of Psychiatry declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. Since then, social acceptance of LGBT individuals in Chinese society has grown steadily. However, barriers for the LGBT community in China persist in the form of workplace discrimination and school bullying. LGBT advocates in China continue to face challenges, especially as COVID-19 and other policies forced event cancellations and venue closures. Despite these difficulties, how have LGBT advocacy efforts in China progressed in recent years?
Two Chinese LGBT advocates, Xinxin Yao and Junmi Chen, join the National Committee in an interview recorded in July 2024 to discuss their grassroots advocacy, community-building, and changing attitudes towards LGBT in China.

As a trans woman, very cool that LGBT rights are improving in China! Although I'm wary of the USA government and companies trying to influence China

You think too much, this is just another video to lie about LGBTQ situation in China, imagine you are not even allowed to show or hang rainbow flag in public there, what else you can really expect for the improvement then?

[@leonald723]

Just one simple question: Can you show or hang rainbow flag in public in China? if yes, then we can talk further, if not.. then what you guys bragged about?
