A campaign to crack down on pornography topped the list of the top 10 sex and gender incidents in China in 2014 because of its widespread influence.

The list focuses on sex and gender incidents on the Chinese mainland that gained significant attention and aims to improve people's human rights and promote gender equality by displaying the details of the incidents and professional comments.

The annual selection started in 2008 and was organized by Fang Gang, the director of the Institute of Sexuality and Gender Study at Beijing Forestry University. The list was compiled jointly by a dozen sexologists and activists.

   The Little Red Hat incident

A video of Nanshan Police dealing with a dispute between two gay males went viral on the internet. One of the men was wearing a red hat and made a "ridiculous" speech. Later, the man in black clothing said he was fired by his company and the video was forwarded to his small hometown, causing him a lot of trouble. He sued his company, which could be the first case on employment discrimination due to sexual orientation. The leaking of the video infringed the privacy of the parties, but the man demonstrated the real situation for gay people in the workplace.
