(China) - According to a recent survey conducted by Zhang, more than half of the 2,500 gay men polled faced discrimination and suffered from serious mental trauma after confessing about their sexual orientation. Leading the people who abhor same-sex are the parents of gay children. Also, the greatest physical threat to gays comes from such parents. Colleagues at work, classmates and neighbors are the other groups who see gays as "unnatural beings". Zhang cites the tragedy of Qilu (name changed), a 20-something young man from East China's Shandong Province to say some non-acceptances end in disasters. He took his boyfriend home, but his farmer father could not accept the "twisted sexuality" of his son. And since he couldn't stop his son from "indulging in unnatural behavior", he killed his lover.
