-

Same sex activity has been legal in China ever since 1997. And being gay was declassified as a 'mental illness' in 2001 according to The Ministry of Health. But, there is no protection of LGBT people.

"A 2013 survey by the Pew Research Center found that just 21 percent of China's population was in favor of homosexuality. There are still clinics in China that offer conversion therapy (Newsweek).

MARRIAGE.

"Same-sex marriage is still not considered. A government spokesperson, when asked about Li Yinhe's same-sex marriage proposal, said that same-sex marriage was still too "ahead of time" for China (Wikipedia.org)." So activity is legal but not marriage. 

ADOPTION. 

"Same-sex couples may not adopt jointly." So they can't adopt.  :(

LAWS.

- The earliest law against a homosexual act goes way back to the  Song Dynasty, punishing "young males who act as prostitutes with a punishment of 100 blows with heavy bamboo and a fine of 50,000 cash." 

- In 1912, explicit prohibitions of ji jian were abolished in China. Ji Jian: disciplinary inspection to inspect another's discipline.

- The Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China, adopted at the third session of the Fifth National People's Congress on September 10, 1980, defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

- On January 5, 2016, a court in Changsha, southern Hunan Province, agreed to hear the lawsuit of 26-year-old Sun Wenlin, filed in December 2015, against the Bureau of Civil Affairs of Furong District for its June 2015 refusal to let him marry his 36 year-old male partner, Hu Mingliang.[18] On April 13, 2016, with hundreds of same-sex marriage supporters outside, the Changsha court ruled against Sun, who vowed to appeal, citing the importance of his case for LGBT progress in China.[19] On May 17, 2016, Sun and Hu were married in a private ceremony in Changsha, expressing their intention to organize another 99 same-sex weddings across the country in order to normalize same-sex marriage in China
