Speaking exercise

Original 

The weibo and sina made a forbidden policy for homosexuals. Its forbidden that we can’t issue any TV shows/ videos/movies on the website of sina and weibo. This policy quickly got very large rebound of many social communities and people. I strongly against the policy of sina for these reasons. The firstly is that love is the basic human right, love is love before, it isn’t related to gender and age. These people just fall in love with someone as the same gender as them. Secondly, many people criticized that if we acknowledge homosexuals then it will lead to many homosexuals. Like these people will have many sex with others and these people will have sex with many others. There is some stereotype of homosexual, because these problems also exists in the love of people with different gender. So its not the specific problem of homosexuals. But I can comprehend why Chinese social impression is not very good to this homosexual society/communities. Because many of the make use of the imperfection of our law to have sex with each other so casually.
