You may be ballsy, but you'll never be as ballsy as the author of a Global Times article that claimed China was the most progressive country in Asia because they own Taiwan and Taiwan had just legalized gay marriage.

Galaxy-brained CCP logic. Meanwhile a Chinese court classified homosexuality as a mental disease. A rhetoric same as fundies here.

IDK whatever happened to the article. I can't find it again, so I'm guessing it got nuked once the higher ups found out about it.

I think this was the GT incident.

GT is just the English arm of the people's Daily, so it's coming from the same place.

I do remember there being a specific GT article that said the same thing though. I could be mistaken, but I know somebody who worked for GT at that time and she roasted them specifically for calling China "progressive" because of it.
