Secondly, the UnitedNations including homosexuals. China

Great topic Lucy. I particularly liked the inclusion of your research on animal homosexuality :-)
回复删除I totally agree that members of the United Nations should adhere to UN law, although I fear at present the declaration of human rights may sit outside of the same-sex marriage issue.
Legalising the marriage remains a sticky subject, I believe there are about 11 countries at present where same-sex couples can legally get married, and with there being just short of 200 countries in the world, it's a fairly low percentage.
China's stance on the issue is pretty standard and simply does not recognise "same-sex unions". This falls in line with most of Asia and, believe it or not, the majority of the U.S. states.
It's likely that a country making the move from not recognising the unions to recognising them, needs to come from a shift in attitudes rooted deep in religion or tradition. The issue with marriage (as we have seen with some of the "Christian" countries) is that it is a legally binding contract, the law behind marriage often states [man] and [woman], specifically.
I suspect changing the law requires a lot more political clout, and little or no pressure from religious, tradtionalist or certain right-wing groups (or states).
I'm with you though, I hope this will move forward for the better in the future.
Great blog Lucy, the research about animal homosexuality of yours really is phenomenon.
回复删除The relationship between the state and homosexuals is one with lots of scandal and controversy. At one end of the spectrum, you have people arguing that homosexuals have done nothing wrong and should be free to do as they like. At the other end, you have people who argue that we should just stone anyone caught committing homosexual acts.
There are certainly strong ethical reasons, from a religious point of view, for opposing homosexual behaviour. I personally believe homosexuality is immoral. But at the same time, as long as my own rights are not infringed by homosexual behaviour, I see no reason to forbid it.
From a policy standpoint, I see no reason to criminalise homosexuality. Any act between two consenting adults should be permitted, provided this act does not infringe on the rights of others.
It is a great topic. I think the homosexual marriage is really hard to legal in China at moment.
回复删除Because in China lot of old people still have old thinking, so it is hard to prove this law in china.As you can feel two guys hokd the hand together, walking on the street, lot of asain people will use the different eyes view on them, but in other freedom countries they won't. so I think when china will pass this law, probably will take 10 or 15 years after.
