More than 75,000 people have signed a petition by an international LGBT group calling on a Chinese university to apologise to two lesbian students. Xiaoyu Wang, whose girlfriend publicly proposed to her at their graduation ceremony, was refused her diploma. The Guangdong University of Foreign Studies reportedly told the couple their act had "violated regulations". 一個國際女同性戀者、男同性戀者、雙性戀者與跨性別者（LGBT）團體，發起超過7萬5000人連署的請願，要求1所中國大學向2名女同志學生道歉。該校拒絕發給王小妤（譯音）文憑，她的女朋友在她們的畢業典禮時，向她公開求婚。據報導，廣東外語外貿大學告訴這對情侶，她們的行為已「觸犯校規」。
"The most romantic day of my life turned into a nightmare", said Ms Wang." I’m devastated and humiliated, but I’m fighting back and need your help." However, the university has declined to comment to media about the case.
「我人生中最浪漫的一天，變成一場惡夢。」王小姐表示：「我感到心力交瘁、備受侮辱，但我仍要討回公道，需要你們伸出援手。」然而，該校拒絕對媒體評論此事。
LGBT group All Out has called on the university to "apologise publicly to the two students". It added that "comprehensive measures to prevent discrimination and homophobic harassment on campus." Some supporters delivered the All Out statement to the university headmaster, who said he would take a look at it.
