Manifesto of Chinese Tongzhi Conference 1. Same sex Love has been existing in all cultures since ancient times.
Scholars find that many cultures take a tolerant attitude towards homosexuality and bisexuality.

Same Sex Love is Being Discriminated Against Regardless of the number of homosexuals and bisexuals in the world, the issue is whether this group of people is being discriminated against by the mainstream society.
