Did you read the article beyond the first paragraph? ONE case was related to a ‘kidnapping’ accusation. The rest of the examples have been about systematic persecution of LGBT related parties
As per the article, the reasons for the arrests are kidnapping
As I pointed out, kidnapping is a side issue, and unrelated to the majority of the cases.
this is not exactly an LGBTQ+ issue.
But it’s not the government pushing this.
From the article:
In recent years, China’s LGBTQ+ community has been swept up in the Chinese Communist party’s broader crackdown on civil society and freedom of expression. In May 2023, a well known LGBTQ+ advocacy group in Beijing announced it was closing due to “unavoidable” circumstances. Last February, two university students filed a lawsuit against the education ministry after they were punished for distributing rainbow flags on campus.
In 2021, the founder of another group, LGBT Rights Advocacy China, was detained and released on condition that he close the organisation, which shuttered shortly after. That year, dozens of social media accounts associated with university campus LGBTQ+ movements were also shut without warning. Shanghai Pride, the country’s longest-running celebration for sexual minorities, ended in 2020.
How is this not directly caused by the govt, and ‘not exactly an LGBTQ+ issue’?
Look, if the LGBT population is being persecuted for being LGBT, that makes it an LGBT issue. If others are being affected as well, that means there are multiple, and broader issues, but that doesn’t make it any less an issue for the LGBT population. And it is very much being pushed by the govt.
