LGBT Rights Advocacy China
LGBT Rights Advocacy China (known online as Queer Advocacy Online) was an advocacy group for the rights of the LGBT community in China.
It campaigned for the custody rights for same-sex couples[1] and for full legal equality of LGBT people in China.[2] It also provided educational material on homosexuality in ancient China.[3]
It was closed down in 2021 amid anti-LGBT sentiment and a lockdown on LGBT rights groups in China.[4]
