Sex guide comes under gay fire in China


BEIJING: Gay rights activists in China have protested against a state publication which describes homosexuality as a kind of "sexual deviance" which needs to be checked. Families of homosexual children are livid at the publication titled, 'Parents , please walk your children through puberty' published by two government controlled agencies, Hangzhou Institute for Educational Research and Northeast Normal University Press.

The book, designed to assist parents of adolescent children, advises them to prevent homosexual tendencies among them. "Because homosexuals are not accepted by prevailing social customs and moral standards, they tend to be anti-social and eccentric," says an excerpt.

A group of 18 mothers have written to the government education bureau in Hangzhou, demanding that the book be recalled immediately. Over 50,000 copies have been distributed since last year. Teaching material distributed in China routinely contain misinformation about homosexuals, media quoted Hu Zhijun, a staff at a gay rights group, as saying.

Media quoted the book's chief editor, Han Siping, acknowledging responsibility. "During the editing process, we did not research homosexuality enough. As the chief editor, it was my failure to maintain a strict standard in editing," she said, adding that controversial content should be deleted.

The manner in which China wanted to force the Communist ideology in Hong Kong schools and which was opposed by the Hong Kong people as brainwashing and the manner in which the Chinese want to curb all behaviour that is not conformist like being gay, indicates the immense fear of Communist Mainland China to allow freedom of thought, deed and speech.

They want all people of China to have a similar clone like existence so that it is easier to govern and without any dissent.

The Communists have an advantage since the Chinese are attracted to making money and more money and so with China's economy doing well and some sections of Chinese society making good money, the Chinese are ready to overlook individual freedoms in exchange of having good opportunities to make money and more money.

But how long this cozy relationship between the Communists and the people will last, is the question that requires pondering over.
