Chinese Government Lists "Homosexuality" and "Anal Sex" as "Unhealthy Sexual Behaviour" in Epidemiology Textbook

In a Chinese textbook of Epidemiology issued by the Chinese Communist Party government, under the definition of "unhealthy sexual behaviour", homosexuality was listed alongside "multiple sex partners" and "early exposure to sex".

In another version of the textbook, under the same category "unhealthy sexual behavior", "anal sex" replaces "homosexuality".

In sum, the Chinese state approved textbook has raised concern over the CCP's discrimination and misrepresentation of the GRSM groups.

Crackdown or not, isn't it strange to single out a certain group to collect data from?

Shanghai University has claimed the college to report LGBT student list, including their political perspectives and psychological condition 
 
Recently the sex niche in mainland universities and colleges has been repeatedly suppressed. After the LGBT student WeChat groups in multiple universities have been deactivated, the Shanghai University has announced to claim all colleges report LGBT student list with their information like political perspectives for “school investigation”. Some LGBT groups concerned, sex niche students will be continually supressed, the law scholars questioned the relevant investigation may illegal.  
 
In the recent days there was an online internal document from Shanghai University, which showed the school is using reason of “school investigation” to claim, “colleges have to reflect all information of LGBT student”.  
 
That form claims to report the gender and education background of LGBT student, but also claim to report their state of mind and psychological condition, including political position, study and research, daily life, interpersonal relationship, life plan, health condition, bad condition, mental disorder, and illnesses.

This isn't something new for China. What they need are an open mind and better sex ed, or else I feel bad for women in China.

Some TV/Movie censorship examples are below:

In 2005/06, China banned the cowboy romance, Brokeback Moutain, but then praised the Taiwanese(!) director Ang Lee for winning an Oscar for the movie.
Saying: "Ang Lee is the pride of Chinese(!?) people all over the world, and he is the glory of Chinese cinematic talent."

In 2018, though "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released in China, references to Freddie Mercury's sexuality and AIDS diagnosis were censored.

In 2021, "problematic" celebrities such as BTS, Lady Gaga were edited out of Friends TV Reunion.

Natalie Geisenberger: I’d never returned to China

#NatalieGeisenberger, Germany’s #luge champion who took home a sixth gold medal at #WinterOlympic Games this year. She went to Beijing having previously criticised China and even considered boycotting.

“When there’s #HumanRights and the country’s stance on #LGBT, those issues should be taken into consideration by the #IOC (in selecting host nations).”

Geisenberger refused to speak about the human rights issue during the Games.

“You have to be careful when you say what, and where you say it, and I think many are feeling this way. Here on location, I think it’s better not to say too much,” she said on February 8.

Having now returned to Germany, she told newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung that she will never return to China.

“It’s just not a holiday destination for me, and I wouldn’t go to China for a World Cup either,” Geisenberger continued saying, “it has nothing to do with the pandemic. I wasn’t there because I really wanted to go to China, but because the IOC decided that the Olympic Games would take place in Beijing.
