We believe any kind of intolerance against the
right to freedom of expression is condemnable. It is unfortunate that
expressionism has become a subject of ridicule and fodder to ignite homophobic
fanaticism by Sina Weibo. Its announcement that it was
trying to limit the spread of sexually suggestive i.e. GAY MEDIA and comparing
it to violent and pornographic content is a pathetic attempt to
promote a “clear and harmonious” environment!
Polarities exist unfortunately despite high
level of awareness in China and many Chinese are speaking vehemently against the
ban with a deluge of supportive Comments, Hastags #IAmGay and Rainbow Emojis! to show their support for the LGBT community. The Chinese social media
should rather focus on creating diversity in order to adjust to the
changing demographics of the Chinese society. The concept of diversity
encompasses acceptance and respect for differences. It means understanding
that each individual is unique, and recognizing individual
differences. Sadly, they are doing just the opposite!
