This thesis investigate prominent themes and topics from a wide variety of social media posts on popular Chinese websites. These sites point to the existence of a thriving online gay community that addresses concerns and topics specific to a Chinese context. My analysis includes passages and excerpts from various platforms, such as informational pamphlets, blogs, short films, and other social media postings carefully translated from Chinese to English. In these posts, gay men discuss instances of discrimination. The experiences shared by gay men show how popular Chinese beliefs are strongly influenced by sociopolitical and cultural norms. A number of the online authors discuss a prevalence of negative attitudes against the gay community due to a lack of familiarity with the gay community. The gay community effectively communicates prominent issues relevant to homosexuality in China, which they circulate online to combat the negative attitudes against their community. The overall goal of this research is to examine topics of interest to the gay community in China on their own terms, as expressed on social media.
