- Abstract
Under the shackles of China’s long-standing social customs and moral habits, homosexual groups can only live in the marginal corners of mainstream society and have not been treated equally and openly for a long time. This is the case in most countries in the world. The Chinese have always maintained a certain pessimistic idealism towards love. It is only in modern times that they have begun to face up to what love is. People will pursue love instead of just passing on the family. However, the research on gay love in China still has no beginning. Therefore, this article will use Sternberg’s love triangle theory to explore the views and needs of the new generation of gay groups in China through questionnaires. The aim of this research is to learn more about the similarities and differences between homosexual and heterosexual love and help gay people to establish a correct outlook on love. The result shows that the kind of love between the same sex perfectly conforms to the the love described in Sternberg’s love triangle theory like most of heterosexual people. Contemporary Chinese homosexual groups have always attached importance to the intimate element of love, followed by decision and finally passion. Their demand for intimacy and passion is increasing with age and significantly weakened after entering society and work and began to show an upward trend again until the age of 30.
