China’s CCTV stunned into silence with LGBTQ scene at Paris Olympics opening ceremony

The decision by Chinese state television to broadcast LGBTQ related content during the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony quickly became a hot topic on social media.

Such sights are rare on public platforms given the topic remains a taboo in Chinese mainstream media.

The scene in question, which sparked the most heated discussions on Chinese social media, involved three dancers with a clear romantic relationship.
