BioTu Er Shen (兔兒神) is a Chinese deity who manages the love and sex between men. His name literally means "rabbit deity".
According to Zi Bu Yu (子不語), a book written by Yuan Mei (袁枚, a Qing dynasty writer), Tu Er Shen was a man called Hu Tian Bao (胡天保). Hu loved an officer and was killed by him. After Hu died, he become a deity of homosexuality.
In Chinese folklore, Hu Tianbao (兔兒神) (sometimes rendered 'Wu Tien Bao') was a god to whom men in the city of Fuzhou, Fujian province, prayed when they had fallen in love with a male youth and wanted to win his affections. If their prayers were answered they would come to the god's temple, known as "The Small Official Temple", and smear pig intestines mixed with sugar on the god's mouth.
According to "the Tale of the Rabbit God", which appears in the Zibuyu, Hu Tianbao was originally a man who fell in love with a handsome young imperial inspector of the Fujian Province. One day Hu Tianbao was caught peeping on the inspector, at which point he confessed his reluctant affections for the other man. The imperial inspector had Hu Tianbao sentenced to death by beating. Since his crime was one of love, underworld officials decided to right the injustice by delegating Hu Tianbao as the god and safeguarder of homosexual affections.
