Summary
Résumé
Actuellement, le mariage entre personnes de même sexe n’est pas prévu au sein du chapitre « Mariage et famille » du Code civil chinois. La Chine n’a pas non plus légiféré sur les partenariats civils ou les cohabitations hors mariage afin de protéger les droits et intérêts des couples de même sexe. En 2020, l’auteur a aidé un réseau d’organisations communautaires LGBT en Chine à mener, à titre bénévole, une enquête auprès des minorités sexuelles de ce pays sur leur opinion à l’égard de la reconnaissance des relations homosexuelles. La plupart des personnes interrogées ont déclaré qu’elles souhaitaient épouser leur partenaire de même sexe en Chine. Toutefois, certaines personnes interrogées ont déclaré avoir dissimuléleur orientation sexuelle et avoir contracté des mariages entre personnes n’ayant pas la même orientation sexuelle. D’autres ont expliqué avoir contracté des « mariages contractuels » (i.e. des mariages entre une femme lesbienne et un homme gay qui ont pour but de donner l’apparence extérieure d’une relation conjugale hétéronormée).
Le rapport accompagnant l’enquête affirme que certains fondements ont été posés pour que la Chine reconnaisse le statut des couples de même sexe. La Chine a déjà dépénalisé l’homosexualité et ne la considère plus comme une pathologie. Au-delà, la légalisation du statut civil des couples de même sexe bénéficie d’un certain soutien public. La plupart des départements judiciaires adoptent une attitude tolérante envers les groupes LGBT, et des avancées ont été faites en termes de valeurs culturelles.
