Rural development and currency reform are the hot issues at China’s annual session of parliament opening this week, but some delegates have quirkier matters on their minds.
Li Yinhe, a sociologist and member of the advisory body to parliament, plans to submit a proposal on same-sex marriage, aiming to end discrimination against homosexuality — until 2001 considered a mental disorder in China.
Li has submitted the proposal twice before, but it was shelved after it failed to gain the minimum support of 30 fellow members in the 2,000-strong group, the Xinhua news agency reported on Friday.
