This isn’t a falsehood, we all know why Hinkle is saying this, but we should not just run to defend China at the drop of a dime just because of blind ideology.

Under current Chinese law, homosexual marriages are not recognized by the courts, or state apparatus, and are thusly not considered a family unit.

From this, adoption by gay couples is not possible as they are not recognized as a suitable family unit and are barred from adoption. Further, foreign gay couples are also not allowed to adopt within China.

Ironically single gay individuals are allowed to adopt due to legal loopholes.

Overall, a lot of people, both reactionaries and leftists fail to realize that China is neither exterminating and imprisoning gays or that its an LGBT paradise. The “Three No’s” policy is still very much the status quo, and homosexuality is mostly still “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, and very taboo.

I know. He misworded it. It wasn't banned because it was never the law in the first place.
