As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

I mean to say that I think it's traditional, i.e., traditional family sort of thing. Which, I mean, is the same reason that conservatives (and non-conservatives) in the US give for not wanting to allow homosexual marriage. I mean, the issue has also been discussed in China, so it's not like they don't even consider the possibility of allowing homosexual marriage.
This "China's not so bad, and America is SO evil; it's really two sides of the same coin" thing would be funny if the stakes weren't so high.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.

Of course not, it's a legitimate rhetorical device if not used (or taken) literally.
