While celebrations were held around the world for Pride month, there were no major LGBT events in China.
The country's largest Pride event has been suspended since 2021.
The organiser, a group named ShanghaiPride, did not give a reason for the move, saying at the time it was "cancelling all upcoming activities and taking a break from scheduling any future events."
People taking part in political protests in China often face punishment, so instead of holding parades, ShanghaiPride had organised dance parties, community runs and film screenings in the city.
Now, only a few low-profile events are available for the LGBT community such as "voguing balls", where dancers execute moves inspired by model poses.
And ShanghaiPride is not the only major LGBT group to cease operations.
In recent years, several others have had to shut down, raising fears of a crackdown on activism in the world's second largest economy.
Dozens of accounts dealing with LGBT topics on the popular Chinese messaging app WeChat were reportedly deleted in 2021.

Wonder if the BBC ever reports on the persecution and imprisonment of Christians in China.
Will there be enough pressure put the demented diaper wearing dictator to finally speak out against his Chinese handlers?
Why is China a more serious country than America?
You will be driven back into the shadows (or worse) because you are a destabilizing and weakening influence on societies and countries.
You are much better off in free countries where, if you cease the flaunting and parading of your perversion, you can still live in relative peace.
We are viewed as evil, rightfully so by so many nations now. It’s no wonder China and Russia have been gaining so much diplomatic power throughout the world.
Hmm. Gay pride worldwide?
Now a major world religion. But not in China.
China, Russia and Muslim countries have got it right on the whole ALPHABET Crowd.
Excellent comment - Imma stealing it.
“Why is China a more serious country than America?”
It’s run by men.
“Pride People take note. What is happening to you in China is what will happen in America once your Marxist dictatorship is established.”
I’m not convinced of that. If they can be used to by the dictatorship to further enhance their power, they’ll be kept around. But they will be very tightly controlled.
We have allowed and some what accepted in the beginning and now look what it has festered into
Understandable. It is now less about Pride and more about condemning anyone who doesn’t pay homage to the politics
Because it is a country, not a Disney movie.
China doing something right.
Well, they got that right anyway.
least someone knows how to handle pervs
Once the CCP has assumed full control here, they will begin the unmerciful crackdowns against the useful idiots. Just a matter of time. Yuri Bezmenov on YouTube
