Equal Marriage Rights in China

Although China is progressing very quickly in many matters of economic and societal change, there are still some current issues that do not recieve adequate attention due to their conflict with the traditional values still held by many in that country. One of these is gay marriage. Not only have proposed laws failed to gain even the very minimum attention required for them to be brought up for discussion, but in many cases discrimination laws do not exist to provide basic support on which to build a case for equal marriage rights. The economic welfare and insurance programs in China also fail to make the same case that has been brought for homosexual marriage in the United States.
