Chen Qiuyan launched the legal action after she found the books in her university library, some of which suggested gay people could be "cured" with electroshock therapy, Xinhua news agency reports . A court in Beijing has accepted the case, which calls for the textbooks to be removed. "Homosexuals are already under great pressure," says Ms Chen, who filed the case under an alias but has since spoken to US media using her real name. "Additional stigma from textbooks will cause direct harm. The ministry should bear the duty to monitor and supervise such content."
