Fang Xudong, a neo-Confucius scholar quoted Confucius, “there are three forms of unfilial conduct, of which the worst is to have no descendants.”
He added, “Confucians don’t have any discrimination against homosexual people: they can have their own sexual orientation and the right to pursue their own happiness. But for a Confucian, duties to one’s family must take precedent over the right to pursue your own happiness”.
The court had confirmed that Sun and Hu’s case would be delayed. It did not give any details about the cause of delay and the next hearing. Sun said that he felt powerless and the court just wanted to drag it out. He also stated that even if they were the only gay couple in the world they should be allowed to get married.
