'Mango TV', the top broadcasting channel in China, subtitled the statement during Malek's Best Actor acceptance speech at 91st Academic award the channel replacing "Gay man" with "Special group" because of its LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) content.

Before 1997, China labeled Homosexuality as a crime and mental illness. However, in 2001 they declassified it as a mental illness but still, the country possesses no laws defending LGBT people from the humiliation they face in their daily life. Same-sex couples are still dominated, restricted and discriminated in the society.

The vital reason behind this is because of China's underrated policy regarding LGBT rights and rules. Due to legal hassles, it's hard for the LGBT community people to socialize and express their feelings in the world of straight people. China accounts for 21% of the world’s population and 30%–40% of the world’s suicides. Studies in China have shown that around 10%-12.6% of LGBT groups reported lifetime suicide attempts
