#IAmGay trends in China as Weibo removing ‘homosexual’ content

The popular Chinese micro-blogging website begins a purge of material it deems "illegal" in the strictly-policed communist state.

A “clean-up campaign” by a popular Chinese social media site has sparked protests from its users.

Sina Weibo said it would remove “illegal” content, including “manga and videos with pornographic implications, promoting violence or (related to) homosexuality” from its website.
