Gay Japanese
Japan is truly a forerunner when it comes to modern technology and advancements in the field of science. Following its long history, one can find out why Japan has become a very progressive nation. A huge part of the success of the Japanese lies in their values and rich tradition. Japan has put a lot of honor and respect for its ancestors, in its leaders, even its warriors like the Samurai. Such are the images of Japan which can be seen in movies and pop culture.
Because Japan is considered as a very macho and male society, it is not a wonder why there are many closeted gay Japanese. In many scientific studies, it has been observed that there may be a form of discrimination against gay Japanese in the workplace, or in public as a whole. In reality, as many modern homosexual activists would advocate, gay Japanese men should not in any way be treated differently from straight or heterosexual members of society. Think about it this way, if a gay Japanese man comes out in the United States, it won’t be that big a deal as compared to the traditional mindset of his homeland.
However, because the times have been changing rapidly, you can begin to realize that gay Japanese are not as closeted as they were so many years ago. When you do a search on Google, you will find that there are more than 1.6 million search results for the terms gay Japanese. Even Wikipedia provides an article on “Homosexuality in Japan,” where in gay Japanese have been the subject of many literary works like poems and songs, and even of paintings in the 7th century.
According to Mark McLelland of the journal “Convergence: the International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies”, the internet plays a huge role in the understanding of gay Japanese and homosexuality in Japan as a whole. The source also explains that as early as the 1970’s there have been gay Japanese magazines that have opened up the idea in society. Only then when the internet became highly developed that gay Japanese fever spread throughout the country and even across the globe. It is not as taboo as it used to be. This journal article on the gay Japanese network was published in the year 2000.
