Abstract

Chinese internet social media plays a significant role in understanding modern diffusing and teaching theories, which lead to behavior identification and conceptualization of the LGBTQ group in contemporary Chinese society. With the development of popular social media platforms, the minority of sex groups can be observed with their media social norms, private comments, and responses. This study collects data that illustrate the main source of LGBTQ knowledge and values for generation Z and discusses its mechanism. By a combination of a case study and quantitative questionnaire, the negative and false impressions of the LGBTQ group of generation Z are reported. It is argued that even though diffusing and teaching functions have been fully accepted by social interactions through social media, the impact they have upon LGBTQ groups is still negative.
