The website for Irish women
Channel 4 is set to air a documentary tonight that sheds light on the treatment of China’s LGBT community.
Though being gay in China was decriminalized in 1997, its only 14 years since it has been declassified as a mental illness.‘I come from a place that embraces gay rights. This year when Ireland became the first country in the world to legalize same sex marriage by popular vote, I felt immensely proud. I felt emotional as I read the tweets, the headlines, and the text messages, from friends and family who were joining this movement.
The documentary follows John Shen who is second in command of the largest gay rights group in China, the Beijing LGBT Centre. Shaunagh says “He and his colleagues are fighting to expose these clinics that use quack remedies to change a person’s sexual orientation. Its unmistakably distressing work on the surface but John’s struggle has many layers. Not only is his cause raising suspicion among the authorities that continually call unannounced to the LGBT Centre, John has yet to come out to his parents”.
