This article discusses the Chinese state crackdown on homosexuality during the reform period through the narratives of homosexual men who were arrested and sentenced to re-education through labour at that time. Utilising the work on morality and law by Zygmunt Bauman, it is shown that Deng Xiaoping’s proposal in 1979 to advance Chinese socialist spiritual civilisation was operationalised through a wide variety of procedures, including the use of the criminal justice system through the new crime of ‘hooliganism’. It was understood that the object infringed upon by hooliganism was the social order itself, through acts that violated the moral principles of Chinese society. Legislated in 1979, hooliganism was an obvious tool for the regulation of sexuality. Those engaged in hooliganism had to be severely punished. Seven men of the 31 men in our study were arrested and six were sentenced to re-education through labour.

This article describes the paradoxes experienced by homosexual men during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Interviews with 31 elderly Chinese gay men were carried out in four cities in China in 2011. While homosexual men were terribly persecuted, chaotic situations and dislocations of youth from their families provided young homosexual men with a remarkable degree of personal freedom and the opportunity to explore same-sex relations. Analysis of this seemingly contradictory conflation of persecution and freedom will allow us to explore the conditions and effects of the coming of age of homosexual men in a unique epoch in Chinese history.

... The Communist Revolution 'brought a moralizing denunciation of homosexuality as perverse that was only ambiguously and contradictorily written into the criminal codes and medical diagnosis manuals' (Kang, 2012, p. 231). In the Criminal Law of the PRC in 1979, homosexuality was tagged with 'crime of hooliganism', and the 'crime' of hooliganism enacted against homosexual men during the Cultural Revolution (1966)(1967)(1968)(1969)(1970)(1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976) was also re-enacted during the opening-up period (1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985) (Worth et al., 2017(Worth et al., , 2019.

... That sexual awakening did not apply to heterosexual relationships only. While homosexual men were persecuted, chaotic situations and dislocations of youth from their families provided young homosexual men with an unprecedented degree of personal freedom and the opportunity to explore same-sex relations (Worth et al., 2017). As stated by Pan Suiming, "the Cultural Revolution is the father and the One-Child Policy is the mother of the current sexual revolution" (Pan, 2006). ...
