Comment on Together: Australian film altered in China to make gay couple straight

They seem to be under the misguided impression that this will resolve the birth rate crisis. The smut example may have an effect if it were part of a broader crackdown on porn, but targeting homosexuality won’t resolve anything and just make people miserable.

It’s just the typical toxic and illogical mix of homophobia, morality, and politics.

Ironically, same sex couples may actually be the key to alleviating the fertility crisis. Out and proud same sex couples tend to be of higher socioeconomic status, resolving the main barrier to having children. Yet, Draconian laws prevent them from accessing adoption or surrogacy services.

Also, China is absolutely cracking down on porn more broadly as well by shutting down websites, and jailing people, as part of its stance against “obscene materials.”
