Brazil legalized Gay marriage 2 years before the U.S did....

Japan is, at heart, still a very conservative country. A lot of people don't realize it because of how it's portrayed in manga and anime, and other such things.

If nothing else, their backasswards censorship law should be a clue about their nature.

Maybe when enough of the old fogey LDP members die off, things could start to change. Maybe...

That backwards ass law of censorship was introduced by americans as part of the treaty

There are politicians in Japan that want to remove it

Most Japanese people support same sex marriage

Stop using this as an excuse to paint all Japanese people as someone who hates same sex marriage

Except I never said that. Stop trying to claim I said something when I did not.

I'm well aware that Japanese people are not a monolith and you can find many varying views towards same-sex marriage among them, including support, opposition, and indifference.

With that said, the Japanese Diet can change that censorship law any time they wish -- It isn't ingrained into the Constitution. The fact that it hasn't been changed shows that the conservatives still have the power. The lack of legal same-sex marriage also shows that the politically conservative types are preventing homosexual marriage.

It doesn't mean that every single Japanese person is against gay marriage. But it does show that they (meaning the Japanese electorate) keep voting for politicians who won't change those laws. If that's not evidence of a culturally conservative society, then I don't know what is.

Supposedly, support for same-sex marriage in Japan is as high as 68%, but if that many Japanese people truly cared about it, then they'd stop voting LDP.
