- 0dayz 6y agoDon't know which article were talking about since there is a couple of articles saying that. Ethnically Japan isn't homogeneous (almost no country is), culturally it depends. I think their stance on LGBT says it all, no one cares if you're gay/trans, until you announce that you intend to have a long standing relationship, then people especially family will care a lot (negatively). Because you go against societies own mandate, of family before yourself. China has a more extreme version of that.
