China Activists Fight Gay ‘Conversion Therapy’

Gay rights activists in China are preparing for what they say could be a legal milestone in their fight to stop homosexuality being treated as an illness. 

Later this month, a Chinese court will hear the first case of its kind brought against a clinic that offers so-called "gay conversion therapy". 

China declassified homosexuality as a mental illness well over a decade ago. 

However, Dr. Zhou Zhengyou says he uses counseling alone and does not treat his patients with so-called aversion-therapy offered elsewhere in China.
