Blog, lgbtq+

Before I had a blog of my own, I joined my friend’s, qirou yang’s, blog on WeChat. I wrote about a theatre play about lgbtq+ people that I went to see with my other friends, lifan Zhou and Cheng Xi. All of them threw a jealous rage after my article came out. It was about Medici family, the oil painting spring and how women love each other through songs. It got a high view count of 64 on WeChat. I later asked her and deleted the blog myself because it invited too much controversy. It’s clear China didn’t like how liberal my blog articles was. It had invited random many people to harass me about my views on lgbtq+ people. I had to admit I wrote that blog to try to impress people of how closely analytical my writing was. However it got the effect I wanted which was surprising to me. Are people still mad about the love between lgbtq+ people?
