China declares homosexuality a mental illness. Where's LeBron James? Where's Disney?

Dissidents have been warning us for years about the nature of China's communist totalitarian regime. 

But unlike a lot of them, the dictatorship also has money and markets.

In the West, that means quisling defenders, many with a snoot in the trough.

So here comes a pitched curve ball for China's clapping seals, according to the South China Morning Post:

A Chinese court has upheld a ruling that a textbook description of homosexuality as "a psychological disorder" was not a factual error but merely an "academic view".

The Chinese LGBT community, and the 24-year-old woman who filed the lawsuit, have expressed disappointment at the decision, handed down last week by the Suqian Intermediate People's Court in the eastern province of Jiangsu.

Ou Jiayong, who also uses the name Xixi, said the court's decision about what constituted a "factual error" was "random and baseless". 

In 2016, during her first year of study at the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, Xixi came across a psychology textbook that described being gay as a mental disorder.

The 2013 edition of Mental Health Education for College Students, published by Jinan University Press, listed homosexuality under "common psychosexual disorders" — along with cross-dressing and fetishism. It stated that homosexuality "was believed to be a disruption of love and sex or perversion of the sex partner".

In China, that "academic view" pretty much permits the state to do whatever it wants to anyone who might be homosexual or gay.  In the eyes of the state, they're mentally ill, see, and the totalitarians running the show there are all benevolent, wanting only the best for the worker ant collective.

I don’t consider it a mental illness. More of a mental defect. We all have both mental and physical defects. Nobody’s perfect. It’s as normal as being born with a sixth finger or cutting off a finger and only having nine is “normal”. It’s a defect.

Hollywood is very quick to jump for causes that can be called gay. Weren’t West Hollywood’s denizens responsible for blacklisting people who opposed a gay “marriage” initiative?

Didn’t this bunch boycott the Beverly Wilshire over the Sultan of Brunei’s purchase of a share of it, the Sultan instituting anti-gay policies back in his sultanate?

Suddenly, we don’t hear much from Hollywood about this classification of gayness as a mental illness.

Where’s LeBron James, whose claim to fame beyond basketball is defending China? He’s got business interests there, and he’s said nothing.

Where’s Disney, whose family fare these days is more than a little gay-friendly? They too have got business interests in China, and worse still, they made a movie on a Chinese theme complete with Xinjiang’s laogai forced labor camps accidentally appearing in the background. They may be indifferent to the laogai, but let’s hear their reaction to this news from China.

Oh yeah, we might have to check how many shares of Disney stocks are owned by individuals or businesses with connections to the Chicoms.

well, this is worse then, a mental defect is now considered an illness that needs to be cured. The questions posed in the title of this thread applies even more.

"a disruption of love and sex or perversion of the sex partner"

A desire to "groom" others....

Since Tim Cook says he’s gay, China considers the CEO of Apple a mentally ill person.

Yes. I believe it can be fixed. But it is actually illegal to even try in some parts of the US. The chinese have it right on this one. At least, more right than the US.

BTW, one of my seven kids is a homosexual and has been in a long term relationship for over a decade.

Edit: I don’t talk to him about his homosexuality and I don’t talk to my daughter about her radical leftism. :)

The Chinese are not fools. They realize that wherever homosexuals permeate or are tolerated, be it organized religion, Academia, the popular culture,government bureacracy, organizations such as the Boyscouts etc, decadence, rot and ruin follows. When “tolerance” supercedes sound judgement based on principle, the ruin commences. China, unlike the West is not interested in cultural suicide.
