摘要

It is in recent years that the concept of homosexuality came into public attention in China. It is no doubt a sensitive topic and requires time and effort for the minority group to be truly accepted by society, especially under the social norm of the rather conservative China. This essay will explore the main media (pop/subculture of the concept's (homosexuality) diffusion and the mutual influence with the main audience, the young generation, as well as why the effort and effect of pop&subculture are insufficient in truly bring right and acceptance for the actual minority group of LGBTQ+.
