Heh, the article actually really didn't say it. I was thinking maybe you just didn't read it carefully. Here are articles that explicitly say it.

Agreed. We changed the title to that of the actual article. Submitted title was "China's Weibo backs down from censoring gay content following backlash".

Submitters: rewriting titles like that is a violation of the site guidelines. If the facts have changed since the article was written, you can explain that by posting a comment about it to the thread, or by finding a more up-to-date article and submitting that.
