Is there a specific reason why they banned the film? Is it overt homophobia?
Not exactly overt homophobia, but generally (to our Chinese members, please correct me if I am wrong) they still stick to tradition, morally. Just like us, Filipinos, we are gay friendly people but most will not still favors same-sex marriage, if you see what I mean.
Millennial Chinese have been widely interested in the film that they are distributing CMBYN underground and most swoon at this film. They really loved it. I will post the link the moment I've come across it again.
