The China case

After looking at my group member Yen's post, I want to continue our talking about LGBT rights.

I come from China which is a developing country, where homosexual marriage is illegal and homosexual rights have not been given enough weight. The two lesbians I met in my undergraduate study in China were looked down by classmates around them. Most people cannot understand why they chose the same-sex person as their life partners. I have no right or wrong attitude towards homosexual actions and I guess there must be reasons why they do not choose a heterosexual company as most people do.

As far as I concerned, the reason why the two girls I met in China prefer a same-sex life partner is that they lose confidence in men after being hurt seriously.

Lucky for me, our group's attempt to look at LGBT rights in Newcaslte gives me the chance to understand this topic more comprehensively.

In contrast to China, UK is a developed country where human rights are more respected. A good example is the Green Party's manifesto for the General Election this year that tries to fight for the rights of LGBT.

In UK, the gay and lesbian's activities are more open than in China. For example, there are gay bars, gay streets and gay societies in Newcastle. Gays and lesbians can make effort to fight for their rights. About their sexual orientation, I got an idea from our group members that those individuals are born with their preference in sexuality, they cannot control their feelings for the same-sex persons. But I don't know whether it's right or not.

Our group will continue to learn more about LGBT rights in Newcastle, hope we can have all questions answered and give a comprehensive look at LGBT rights in Newcastle.
