Abstract

Homosexual culture has existed for a long time in human history, which can be traced back to the ancient Babylonians and the ancient Greeks, and was respected by people at that time. Since the 4th century, homosexuality was considered a sin with the establishment of Christianity. It wasn’t until the 18th century that people really began to study homosexuality. The large-scale homosexual liberation movement in the 1960s has led some governments to carry out relevant legislation for the homosexuality. In China, however, the homosexuality law is almost a blank. This paper will analyze the history of the development of homosexual law worldwide, and discuss the possibility of legalization on homosexuality in China in the future by combining and borrowing the existing laws on homosexuality.
