Japan Answers 8: How is homosexuality viewed in Japan?

[blacksesamecandies]

I had heard once that for even straight couples in japan, affection in public is not something often seen - like it is meant privately. So maybe there is people holding hands, but you are probably unlikely to see couples kissing deeply or making out in public? I may be wrong on this, but I would appreciate it if someone could answer. ^^;

I found this video very interesting. Thank you for your input!

how is communism seen in Japan?

i know, strange question :}

[gorion79]

Is this the response to my question? I remember asking something about homosexuality, but I suppose someone else could have easily asked the same. Anyway, I appreciate you going into depth about it in Japan. I want to visit, and maybe live in Japan one day. I really love the culture.

[japanascope]

@gorion79 Yeah man, that one was for you. Thanks for asking.

Very good video!

And what about Japanese men and white women relationships in Japan? How are they seen? Sorry... too many questions...

[Soralella71]

Anyway, I have another question: how is heterosexual affection seen in public? Thank you.

[Soralella71]

Your OK sounds like the ok of Mr. Mackey from South Park :)

[GengoNoTabi]

I thought you did an excellent job at answering that question. There are some openly gay YT'rs in our Japanese oriented YT community who live in Japan currently. While I am certain they wouldn't care, I still don't feel like sticking their name in this comment box. So a PM would be required of anyone who wanted to know.

Oh oh oh oh oh, question. In your opening, is that gate in the water the one where the tide goes out and you can walk up to it and throw ricks over it? If so, where is that?! I wanna go! ;O;

[japanascope]

@oneeyedme Are you talking about the Itsukushima Shrine off the coast of Hiroshima?

[oneeyedme]

@japanascope Oh! Yah I guess so! Darn, kinda far away from where I am...

[oneeyedme]

I love how accepting Japanese people are. So many men here look so feminine, even they they are not homosexual, and I like that .In America you have to like football and work out or you are a "fucking faggot". There a celebrity on TV i see a lot who is a man who dressed like a woman (had a sex change? not sure) and (s)he's so awesome. No one hates on him. (:

[peterpenny11]

I want to hear more about guns then gays. Please tell me why they are banned.

[sweetpeate1]

this video was very interesting vie always wondered how other cultures viewed homosexuality

[VisualK3i94]

Sounds like Japanese people have boring lives...They do the same thing everyday.

[PSNLIVE2]

@VisualK3i94 It's only a boring life if you make it a boring life. In America people have boring lives and exiting lives like everywhere in the world. Don't stereotype the Japanese.

[VisualK3i94]

@PSNLIVE2 Lol I know, but the way he said it, made it sound like everyone lives like that.
