Abstract

In the 18th century and 19th century, homosexuals are not acceptable by society and are isolated. This paper introduces the effect of the Internet on the Chinese homosexual community since 1995 when the Internet had entered China. In order to find the role of the internet in the homosexual community inside, this study sorts and summarizes the previous studies. Through this study, it can figure out what influence the Internet can bring and why it happens. The data and content may help the scholars to deeply study the homosexual group. By analyzing 12 papers screened by keynword searches, the Internet has influence on homosexuals’ socialization, exclusive communication words, and their culture. Most of the time, they use certain applications and chat groups to find encounters. Homosexuals find companions online and feel a sense of approval. More and more gays and lesbians start to share their lives on social media. The Internet not only connects homosexuals themselves but also links mainstream society and homosexuality.
