    Also we have 4-6 major monthly gay mags, and so many Japanese gay websites. Try using Japanese web sites and you will find almost countless sites. No, Japan is not as homophobic as many foreigners like to think it to be.
    Try in other European languages :

    492,000 for homoseksualiteit (Dutch)
    1,520,000 for omosessualita (Italian)
    1,590,000 for Homosexualitaet (German)
    6,550,000 for homosexualite (French)

    Each have much less native speakers than Japanese.

    That's plain racist in my opinion.
    Sometimes it's true. Look at the homeless in Japan.
