Compared with 14 years in 1995, there is still a slight difference

A few days ago, in a foreign teacher's class, we discussed a topic: "Gay Marriage". A group of five, all the participants are university teachers, all have doctorate degrees, I don't know if there is a full professor, and there is an associate professor who I know. However, except for a rotten female teacher, all believe that gay marriage should not be. Even this rotten teacher thinks that in the Chinese social environment, the life of a comrade is too hard, and no one should try it.

This rotten female teacher is proficient in all kinds of gay romance novels and gay literature. But in her eyes, Chinese comrades are chaotic and hard. The disapproval of society, the wandering of oneself and the difficulty of maintaining feelings make it extremely difficult for comrades living in the Chinese context. Another teacher directly equates gays with STDs.

When I saw this movie today, I suddenly remembered the scene discussed in class. In 2014, China's so-called high-level intellectuals' image of gays was still the same as that of the middle class in the movie (the real story should take place in the 1990s). These intellectuals who theoretically should keep their minds open and accept new things, why are there so many misunderstandings about comrades? I don't know if in their hearts, if they still think that comradeship is a disease that can be cured.

Maybe they are a little older, and it is difficult to change their ideas. But in the daily life circle (generally college students and graduate students), there are not a few people who think gays are unacceptable. Some people think that it doesn't matter if it happens to someone they don't know, but they will feel extremely disgusting if there are gays around. These people will become the mainstream thinking of the future society, when will China be able to connect with the world in this regard.

Feel free to go to cnki to check the research on "comrade" in the Chinese academic field. Most of them focus on some ideological or medical prevention and treatment fields, and they seem to be less involved in the living conditions of gays, the mental state of gay college students, and the status of making friends. In China's social environment, are Chinese homosexuals and college students generally repressing their own orientation and experiencing inner torment and torture? Whether this behavior of not being able to face oneself will cause psychological and physical pressure, which will lead to suicidal or promiscuous tendencies. Non-professionals, curious about these questions and those deeper.
