What's it like being LGBTQ+ in Japan?

Thank you so much for watching!

Only 90k to 1M subs,
What should I do when I hit a million?

If you want people to consider it normal, then keep it normal, don't make it too special. I'm gay and living in Vietnam.

I loved Nichome when I lived near Tokyo. I'm actually moving back soon but to Sasebo. I'm not sure about anything over there.

Thanks Takeshita, good video! I would like to see you do more videos on this topic as well. 🙏

second guy is cute..

Thank you for doing this! I want to live in japan for some amount of time and I'm glad the atmosphere is kinda neutral (at least compared to the us currently). idc if people don't like me or think I'm gross, but it's nice to know I won't be beat up or worse just for existing. Thanks for spreading visibility too!! Have a good one!

The first Japanese guy he speaking English very well.

I’m so sad for them not really embarrassing themselves n their culture doesn’t except them , it’s a shame they can’t just b n accepted

STAN? I saw his pov but I didn’t think that I would find this video😭

The Pope said that every human beings deserve protection under national law. LGBT included! It's a bad behavior to discriminate people. Just as the Pope said if a LGBT person looks for Christ with all their heart, Catholic Church doesn't have rights to stop him/her to come near Him. But the Pope also said that Catholic Church will never approve to same sex marriage because Catholic Church will never approve of sin.
I personally don't look down on LGBT. I can understand their struggles with this issue. It's a good thing that we can support others in trouble times. But I never agree about sexual activities between LGBT. Your sexual orientation is not a sin but doing sexual activities without the bless from God is.

We went to almost all onsens here in Japan and Japanese men are just like any other human beings. They're attracted to same sex because it's human nature. They're aroused when they see naked men which proves that human nature cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try.

Being gay is human nature, there is no straight guys or girls on earth. Nature is nature.

It's better to not so much open minded. We need just tolerance not to be open minded

I'm not gonna shit bro ...but don't make Japan country shit by these people how Western people r suffering... instead of accepting them, teaching who they are and how born as they are... it's was more important things than accepting rainbow pride..... you already know that Japan birth rate is declining and if japanes people will allow them... you people will also face another consequences the degeneration.. and like unnatural things.. it's already happening in west. .. ...this people will tolerate now but after ward they can't they will force you accept them but refuse to you accept the reality..

❤❤❤ LGBTQ+ ❤❤❤

Im a trans woman and I would love to travel Japan, but I worry that I wouldn't be allowed in some places and be looked down upon. But its really nice to hear that Japan is so safe. Even if people don't accept you they wont hurt you like in parts of the US and other places.

I loved this video such a great idea for normalizing things by adding some chapters about sexual orientations from the school level... now that I realize it.. I've never been told about gender orientations in an Indian school, often known from either peer talks or from some movies...omfg... It hurts... I think I'll be able to determine my orientation sooner or later, but biologically speaking I am a female maybe. But I am not feminine...ok TFrikk I am talking about...I'll need to delete this comment in the future. IG.

These topics always intrigued me. If someone could help me understand who is Japanese. As a non-Japanese person It seems in Japan it's okay or not really looked into deeply of lgbtq or genderbending characters in their animation/anime targeted towards younger ages as it's just a fun thing to do or fetish
But when it comes to real life it's sort of different. I've seen it in a lot of anime and tv shows growing up like: Revolutionary Girl Utena(1997), Ranma 1/2 (1996) , Alice In Borderland manga and tv show {2010/2020). And of course some characters in popular anime like naruto(haku,Orochimaru) and one piece ( Yamato, Ivankov) & many more and everyone seems to be fine with it.

This would probably would have outrage in the US if these shows like this were targeted towards younger audiences and parents saw what was being portrayed in them. I wonder what the mindset is for Japanese adults and parents that their not bothered by it to be shown to their children if they would not accept if their children were to be an lgbtq person. Maybe they simply don't care or pay attention to what their kids watch.

Of course I'm not suggesting these shows or animations would influence the children's behavior as it obviously doesn't because as they said, in japan it's not really an average or normal thing to express these ideas, identities, and sexualities publicly, just wondering what the mindset is for the adults.

Omg it’s Stan

Yes I've been following this topic since Asagi (no BS Japan) talked about this in her video.

Japan is having a low birth rate problem and uprise of the LGBTQ community is making that worse.

So Japanese government is providing benefits to couples who birth offspring.

Although I understand Japanese parents accept their sons and daughters being gay or lesbian, it is not Japanese culture

I STAN FOR STANNN

I am a homosexual . Why do i not get my own letter. I feel as if i am being excluded in a violent and irrational society here folks. Was up wit dat?

What a joke this is. Japanese are well know through out history for having male lovers, and yet they don't accept homosexuality? Can we just push the whole Asian continent as far away as possible from the rest of the world?

That guy on the left is Cute and very intelligent.

thanks for the report. It was a very good journalistic report.

Cool episode never saw lgbt in japan show

alternative title "What's it like being LGBTQ+ for foreigners living in Japan"

My sister was recently a JET teacher in suburban Osaka and said that the school was starting to teach students that gay relationships exist. Hopefully it's a sign that things will change and it will become less stigmatized in the near future.

El Salvador representing!!!!

Thanks for the clip.

Great video thanks!

Repent you nations, repent of your sins and turn to God for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Repent for Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago and was resurrected 3 days after! Repent and take the right way before it’s too late!

Listen... Truly I say to you, whoever hears my word (Jesus) and believes him who sent me (God) has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.John 5:24 Are people born gay? Do people choose to commit adultery/fornicate or are they born with a tendency to sin? Repent/believe or you will not inherit the kingdom of God. Out of love Jesus died for you live 4 him. The consequences are eternal.

What is BL?
