It's interesting to see the generational differences. Because of the age structure of Japan, just looking at the entire population as a whole might not give you a good understanding when it comes to a topic like this. You need to dig deeper. But a lot of information about japan isn't translated into English.

I was so surprised by how open Japanese people actually are--I've heard that they tend to be very polite, and even if they don't fully agree with something, they still remain respectful, which is incredibly important in today's world.

@@buahkelapaliar8829 Well, I can partially agree. Japanese people are generally non-confrontational, often choosing to say nothing rather than speak up about something which could potentially cause an argument. Whether or not that means they'd feign support or that they genuinely don't care (in the sense that same-sex people can marry) could be a point of contention, as both things can be attributed to a desire to avoid confrontation. I'd like to believe that Japanese people are more supportive of that, at least the younger ones (think about the diversity in manga/anime regarding sexualities, I don't think it's simply a kink), it's not a super prejudiced country (maybe somewhat ignorant/traditional in certain aspects but not outright hateful). Take that as you will.
@@davidmorris8319 I mean, did you watch the video? 24 said yes and 3 said no. That's a pretty good sample size. Also I'm pretty sure same-sex marriage was voted to be legal in Japan a few years ago.

You have to remember that Japan isn't a majority Christian nation. Their dislike comes primarily from misunderstanding as opposed to religiously motivated bigotry.

@@thesen8 There's also the issue of just being tolerant. At some point being tolerant won't be enough, we need to learn to be accepting. Being *tolerant* of black people is still inherently racist, because it's like saying you don't see them as equals in society, only that you'll put up with them like some sort of deficiency that will die out. We have to learn to accept people if we wish to move forward as a society, at least in my opinion.
@@mikkimillie6732 it's impossible to force others to be accepting unless they have a reason to do so. Like if their child were to be gay, or a close family member. Even then, some people will never be accepting, and trying to force it onto them will just make things worse. A big argument against LGBT right now is that the ideology is being shoved down people's throats. If we all just lived our lives the way we want to live them, people would learn to be accepting naturally.

I'm not. It's neither the older, nor the younger generation that's mostly homophobic. It's the generation in between that's more likely to have a problem with it. So I wasn't surprised that the older people were okay with same sex marriage.
Me too but maybe it’s because I’m from a Christian country, and the older generations are way more attached to the Catholic Church than the younger ones, so they’re more likely to be fully against same sex marriage or even the idea of homosexuality itself. Idk the nature of religion in Japan

This just makes me so happy. Like, really happy. I've always wanted to go to Japan once I learn the language but have always been afraid of negative reactions to my community in general. However, as many Japanese people don't openly discuss feelings or opinions in general outside of groups of friends, I felt I could perhaps adapt. That being said, needing to hide myself away and emotionally distance myself from others just to blend in would be incredibly lonely. It makes me very happy to see so many people embrace change and accepting that many people are just different in many ways. I try to see it from all sides as much as possible, but the positive reaction in this video is just very uplifting. Very awesome

@@monarch1649 it's not fertility, but people not wanting to have kids. Having kids strips them of their freedom and destroys their dreams, so why would they want them?
Having kids used to have clear benefits (labour, prestige) and it was pushed by society. Today they are a liability, take up more time and money than ever, have more legal rights and education than ever. The only benefit might be that they will take care of you in old age. But that is not backed up by strong social pressure anymore. You could also say that love, family and happiness are also benefits but that takes effort, free time (enough money to not have to Work 24-7 ) and good parenting skills (which we don’t teach enough)
and even if they can't get married, that doesn't mean they will have kids. They're still gay so... Also there's married straight couples who don't want to have kids and that's fine too.

@Dawn Martin You don't need a hetero T-shirt because you're hetero. Are you oppressed by being a hetero? If you support LGBT, you'll be happy that finally they get recognition and representation, and a day or a month to be proud for being gay considering they've been discriminated for just loving someone.
I am a lesbian and was openly gay from the age of 12 until I left Japan in my early 20s. While I did experience some homophobia (which you will experience everywhere), the main reaction I got from most Japanese people was to complely ignore and never discuss the issue. I think this comes down to the Japanese culture of not wanting to offend anyone with divisive opinions, so it better so just say nothing and ignore the issue. So while I did feel accepted, at the same time I felt alone because I felt I couldn't be myself, as any time I brought up the topic of girlfriends or women I liked, the subject would be changed. Over time I just learned not to speak of it, except with my closest friends. So I would say that you are unlikely to experience any major homophobia, but at the same time don't expect the average Japanese person to be ready to discuss any topics surrounding it.
@n/a There is a specific subculture in Japan (that may exist in other countries too) of men who act super macho and arrogant. The man at 2:09 is perfect example. When they see you with a girl, they get angry and offensive. They think you should be with them and they make sexual comments and rude remarks to you. If you reject their advances then they get even more insulting. You usually find them in nightlife spots and around bars. Most of the homophobia I had came from these kind of men.
The declining birth rate issue is totally different then the marriage equality issue. You want to know why there is a declining birth rate? Because when women get married, they are expected to no longer have jobs and to be a full time house wife, which is not something most women want to commit to. I think instead of worrying that the gays are not going to marry women and therefore not having children, they should re-evaluate the real issue behind the declining birth rate.
yes and i also think that, it's not that gay couples can't have children because they're gay, if they want to, they can get a sperm donor. (or adopt, but that's besides my point) i think it's stupid to blame the gays because homosexuality has existed for forever. (like that one guy said in the video) i think that some of those people are just trying to find an excuse for their homophobia.
exactly! Not allowing gay marriage won't miraculously bring the birth rate up. The gays are still gay. Also, not everyone who has kids is married. I'd say this is a case of correlation over causation.
most of the decline in birth rate i would say is possibly because so many kids are orphaned as well and are neglected because of financial issues. we'd have to dig deeper to the core in money problems and the government
Japan does not have a great system for adoptions. But even if it did, it’s not like just hoping for people to have more kids will work, it’s a socioeconomical issue that causes falls in birth rate. Life is not easy enough to have kids for many
Kpwiggleworm I got the feeling he was trying to give an excuse that would be less offensive than what he probably really thinks of gay people. He might as well have said disgusting.

@@kimetsunoacademia3528 I think it's a bit ignorant to assume all people who *abandon their child* do it by choice. Some women die during childbirth, or get pregnant young and feel they can't take care of it, so they give it up for adoption if abortion isn't an option. A lot of these orphans come from third world countries where mothers are less equipped to deal with them, then there's other factors like rape etc. Also there's things like disease and famine, so the parents may die before the kid's even a toddler. Don't blame those people because it isn't always their fault. What we should be doing is encouraging adoption and putting children in safe foster homes.
@Nexopatoor When an oppressed group makes a joke about their oppressors, it’s fighting against the power the oppressors hold against them. In this case, straight people are the oppressors and LGBTQ+ individuals are the oppressed. Please educate yourself.
"children are important" is this dude aware that some women aren't able to have kids? Like even if you're a woman who marries a man, having kids isn't exactly a requirement in marriage. Some people just don't like kids and others literally aren't able to get kids because of genes or other reasons.
One of the great things about homosexual relationships is that even if they can't have kids they can always adopt one that needs a home. Sometimes we don't need more children... why not help those that are in need already :) Edit: Omg I'm sorry if I started a small rant. I was saying that most homosexual couples aren't able to get children so it may lead to adoption. But most homosexual people are hated due to the fact they can't have children. And I was agreeing that there are teens and small children that need adopting all over the world and most people forget that. It's okay to have your opinions.
@@hido... all those teenagers that need to be adopted-exist like you make it sound like because birth rates are dropping that theyre isnt any children currently existing that still need the parental care that cant be provided by couples who are adopting, specfically same sex couples
I think Capable is not the best point from your arguments, japanese children are lower than the old ones if you talking about adoption it's probably not relevant
The argument was "children matter". If you bring nothing to the debate, prepare to be shot down quickly. Same sex marriage wouldn't dictate birth rates in Japan.
That's not what he said though. He said that same sex couple can't have a children, which is obviously wrong, there are many other ways to have children than the "classic" one like adoption etc. But the real problem here is that he thinks that you should choose the person you marry thinking about politics and economics reasons before thinking about loving her/him
Heres the thing. That guy who said he doesn't mind it but he thinks it should be men and women. I'm fine with him. He's okay. Because he has an opinion but doesn't force it or anything. Then that guy who was like "its disgusting" I'm like bro. You can say you think its weird but don't state it as fact. He most likely is the kind of person to hurt someone just because of who they love. And that's what bothers me. Its fine have your opinion but don't use it to hurt others. Please?

@@cokebear1337 I agree, indifference is definitely appreciated, but that is only just the tip of the iceberg of possibilities. When a population of people act indifferent, this can be reassuring since it is better than nothing and it's usually framed in a way that isn't hostile or overly obnoxious. However, indifference can be very dangerous if extreme urgency, action, or "taking sides" is required. For instance, if a group of people were being persecuted, murdered, caged, and beaten for something they cannot change, is it morally right or even progressive for the situation to say "It's none of my business. I'm fine with whatever"? I don't want this to sound like I'm attacking you because like I said, I absolutely agree that indifference is appreciated, but that's all it really deserves: appreciation. In cases where extreme urgency is required, indifference could truly be the reason for how humanity self-destructs.

@@samhwwg I would say it is not a valid CONCLUSION because it is too much conjecture from not enough data. But it definitely is an interesting discussion to have. In my experience, it is more socially acceptable for women to be "bi-curious" than for men. A lot more "straight" women try kissing or having sex with other women than men do with other men. I don't know why. Maybe women are less straight on average, maybe it's mainly indoctrination. So if we assume Japan is similar to my experience in Canada, women might have more of a first-hand experience hence the "If they love each other". They can personally understand why a person would marry another person of the same sex; because they, themselves, might have felt attraction towards another woman in their lifetime. Whilst the men might have not, so they don't personally feel concerned or connected, or might even not understand the appeal (attraction towards same gender) but they don't care who others like.

@@buahkelapaliar8829 Well, I can partially agree. Japanese people are generally non-confrontational, often choosing to say nothing rather than speak up about something which could potentially cause an argument. Whether or not that means they'd feign support or that they genuinely don't care (in the sense that same-sex people can marry) could be a point of contention, as both things can be attributed to a desire to avoid confrontation. I'd like to believe that Japanese people are more supportive of that, at least the younger ones (think about the diversity in manga/anime regarding sexualities, I don't think it's simply a kink), it's not a super prejudiced country (maybe somewhat ignorant/traditional in certain aspects but not outright hateful).
Take that as you will.

@@davidmorris8319 I mean, did you watch the video? 24 said yes and 3 said no. That's a pretty good sample size. Also I'm pretty sure same-sex marriage was voted to be legal in Japan a few years ago.

it's not surprising really. just disappointing. imagine someone saying "amputees are disgusting". ok? they can't help being amputees. it's not a choice. i dont care if people are for or against it. that's their own business. when someone tries to force the mentality that "it's repulsive" or "everyone should be gay" that's when i care. just stick to your beliefs, and let me stick to mine.
@@thesen8 There's also the issue of just being tolerant. At some point being tolerant won't be enough, we need to learn to be accepting. Being *tolerant* of black people is still inherently racist, because it's like saying you don't see them as equals in society, only that you'll put up with them like some sort of deficiency that will die out. We have to learn to accept people if we wish to move forward as a society, at least in my opinion.
@@mikkimillie6732 it's impossible to force others to be accepting unless they have a reason to do so. Like if their child were to be gay, or a close family member. Even then, some people will never be accepting, and trying to force it onto them will just make things worse. A big argument against LGBT right now is that the ideology is being shoved down people's throats. If we all just lived our lives the way we want to live them, people would learn to be accepting naturally.
@@thesen8 I understand that, and of course I don't want to (neither do I) shove an ideology down someone's throat, however all I'm saying is that being tolerant won't be enough one day. Maybe accepting isn't the correct word, but still. idek anymore.

So I wasn't surprised that the older people were okay with same sex marriage.
Me too but maybe it’s because I’m from a Christian country, and the older generations are way more attached to the Catholic Church than the younger ones, so they’re more likely to be fully against same sex marriage or even the idea of homosexuality itself. Idk the nature of religion in Japan

That being said, needing to hide myself away and emotionally distance myself from others just to blend in would be incredibly lonely.

He is talking about low birth rates. Here the fertility issues are common so we do not have many young people
@@monarch1649 it's not fertility, but people not wanting to have kids.
Having kids strips them of their freedom and destroys their dreams, so why would they want them?
Having kids used to have clear benefits (labour, prestige) and it was pushed by society. Today they are a liability, take up more time and money than ever, have more legal rights and education than ever. The only benefit might be that they will take care of you in old age. But that is not backed up by strong social pressure anymore. You could also say that love, family and happiness are also benefits but that takes effort, free time (enough money to not have to
Work 24-7 ) and good parenting skills (which we don’t teach enough)
and even if they can't get married, that doesn't mean they will have kids. They're still gay so... Also there's married straight couples who don't want to have kids and that's fine too.

Look up red states, blue states. America is like two very different countries.

@Dawn Martin You don't need a hetero T-shirt because you're hetero. Are you oppressed by being a hetero? If you support LGBT, you'll be happy that finally they get recognition and representation, and a day or a month to be proud for being gay considering they've been discriminated for just loving someone.
I am a lesbian and was openly gay from the age of 12 until I left Japan in my early 20s.
While I did experience some homophobia (which you will experience everywhere), the main reaction I got from most Japanese people was to complely ignore and never discuss the issue.
I think this comes down to the Japanese culture of not wanting to offend anyone with divisive opinions, so it better so just say nothing and ignore the issue.
So while I did feel accepted, at the same time I felt alone because I felt I couldn't be myself, as any time I brought up the topic of girlfriends or women I liked, the subject would be changed.
Over time I just learned not to speak of it, except with my closest friends.
So I would say that you are unlikely to experience any major homophobia, but at the same time don't expect the average Japanese person to be ready to discuss any topics surrounding it.
That's actually some useful advice, I'm not gay myself but u pointed out good tips for gays
That is a really informing comment, thank you for sharing it! I really hope you can be more open about it now :)
What type of discrimination in particular did u experience?
thank u !!
@n/a
There is a specific subculture in Japan (that may exist in other countries too) of men who act super macho and arrogant.
The man at 2:09 is perfect example.
When they see you with a girl, they get angry and offensive. They think you should be with them and they make sexual comments and rude remarks to you.
If you reject their advances then they get even more insulting.
You usually find them in nightlife spots and around bars.
Most of the homophobia I had came from these kind of men.

The declining birth rate issue is totally different then the marriage equality issue. You want to know why there is a declining birth rate? Because when women get married, they are expected to no longer have jobs and to be a full time house wife, which is not something most women want to commit to. I think instead of worrying that the gays are not going to marry women and therefore not having children, they should re-evaluate the real issue behind the declining birth rate.
yes and i also think that, it's not that gay couples can't have children because they're gay, if they want to, they can get a sperm donor. (or adopt, but that's besides my point) i think it's stupid to blame the gays because homosexuality has existed for forever. (like that one guy said in the video) i think that some of those people are just trying to find an excuse for their homophobia.
exactly! Not allowing gay marriage won't miraculously bring the birth rate up. The gays are still gay. Also, not everyone who has kids is married. I'd say this is a case of correlation over causation.
most of the decline in birth rate i would say is possibly because so many kids are orphaned as well and are neglected because of financial issues. we'd have to dig deeper to the core in money problems and the government
Japan does not have a great system for adoptions. But even if it did, it’s not like just hoping for people to have more kids will work, it’s a socioeconomical issue that causes falls in birth rate. Life is not easy enough to have kids for many
Kpwiggleworm I got the feeling he was trying to give an excuse that would be less offensive than what he probably really thinks of gay people. He might as well have said disgusting.

@@blazmatic1216 so what you want her to say "parents" she said breeders because assholes who give birth and abandon their children are not worth calling parents they are just breeders try to understand a sentence ahole
@@kimetsunoacademia3528 I think it's a bit ignorant to assume all people who *abandon their child* do it by choice. Some women die during childbirth, or get pregnant young and feel they can't take care of it, so they give it up for adoption if abortion isn't an option. A lot of these orphans come from third world countries where mothers are less equipped to deal with them, then there's other factors like rape etc. Also there's things like disease and famine, so the parents may die before the kid's even a toddler. Don't blame those people because it isn't always their fault. What we should be doing is encouraging adoption and putting children in safe foster homes.
@@blazmatic1216 i hope you're being ironic because heterophobia does not exist
@Nexopatoor When an oppressed group makes a joke about their oppressors, it’s fighting against the power the oppressors hold against them. In this case, straight people are the oppressors and LGBTQ+ individuals are the oppressed. Please educate yourself.
"children are important" is this dude aware that some women aren't able to have kids? Like even if you're a woman who marries a man, having kids isn't exactly a requirement in marriage. Some people just don't like kids and others literally aren't able to get kids because of genes or other reasons.

One of the great things about homosexual relationships is that even if they can't have kids they can always adopt one that needs a home. Sometimes we don't need more children... why not help those that are in need already :)
Edit: Omg I'm sorry if I started a small rant. I was saying that most homosexual couples aren't able to get children so it may lead to adoption. But most homosexual people are hated due to the fact they can't have children. And I was agreeing that there are teens and small children that need adopting all over the world and most people forget that. It's okay to have your opinions.

JackOfSpades yeah and why should we ignore Japan’s birth rates going in decline because of an event that will take place in billions of years?
@@hido... all those teenagers that need to be adopted-exist
like you make it sound like because birth rates are dropping that theyre isnt any children currently existing that still need the parental care that cant be provided by couples who are adopting, specfically same sex couples
Queen Kairi he said sometimes we don’t need more children. Which is why I brought up that point.
imagine thinking that all heterosexual couples are capable of having kids tho- :x
You completely misunderstood the argument.
facts
I think Capable is not the best point from your arguments, japanese children are lower than the old ones if you talking about adoption it's probably not relevant
The argument was "children matter". If you bring nothing to the debate, prepare to be shot down quickly. Same sex marriage wouldn't dictate birth rates in Japan.
That's not what he said though. He said that same sex couple can't have a children, which is obviously wrong, there are many other ways to have children than the "classic" one like adoption etc. But the real problem here is that he thinks that you should choose the person you marry thinking about politics and economics reasons before thinking about loving her/him

@Gabriel Nothing wrong with indifference.
@@cokebear1337 I agree, indifference is definitely appreciated, but that is only just the tip of the iceberg of possibilities. When a population of people act indifferent, this can be reassuring since it is better than nothing and it's usually framed in a way that isn't hostile or overly obnoxious. However, indifference can be very dangerous if extreme urgency, action, or "taking sides" is required. For instance, if a group of people were being persecuted, murdered, caged, and beaten for something they cannot change, is it morally right or even progressive for the situation to say "It's none of my business. I'm fine with whatever"? I don't want this to sound like I'm attacking you because like I said, I absolutely agree that indifference is appreciated, but that's all it really deserves: appreciation. In cases where extreme urgency is required, indifference could truly be the reason for how humanity self-destructs.

I agree with same gender love and marriage.
We all have love in our hearts on same place just our bodies are different but the love is the same!
I like how the most women say i agree if they love its other and most men say i agree because it is not my job to tell them what to do. Same result different way of thinking!
This is very true
Is it true to say, based on this, that the men in the video tend to dislike same sex marriage but does not feel like they have the right to intervene and women just agree to it? Is this a valid conclusion?
@@samhwwg I would say it is not a valid CONCLUSION because it is too much conjecture from not enough data. But it definitely is an interesting discussion to have.
In my experience, it is more socially acceptable for women to be "bi-curious" than for men. A lot more "straight" women try kissing or having sex with other women than men do with other men. I don't know why. Maybe women are less straight on average, maybe it's mainly indoctrination.
So if we assume Japan is similar to my experience in Canada, women might have more of a first-hand experience hence the "If they love each other". They can personally understand why a person would marry another person of the same sex; because they, themselves, might have felt attraction towards another woman in their lifetime. Whilst the men might have not, so they don't personally feel concerned or connected, or might even not understand the appeal (attraction towards same gender) but they don't care who others like.
@@samhwwg Saying this without data to back it makes it opinion and a poor conclusion. I agree with maxinoume's take on it.
It's almost as if men and women do think differently... Regardless of what left-wing ideologues have to say about it.
