I was honestly surprised Red China’s government heard the case; years ago I worked with a ChiCom, and she described how files were kept on all employees that followed them from employer to employer. If your boss had it in for you, he would include a comment that you were a homo and it would follow you around forever, blocking opportunities, and you wouldn’t even know it was done.
40 million babies would have survived here if we simply had a court like Singapore’s - a court that actually RULES ON THE LAW...and only does that.
