    Japan is an extraordinary place, Tokyo in my opinion it's the city of the Future,the level of civility,urban cleanliness,respect of personal space,and access to technological advances,it's unparalleled. However,culturally there are very strict guidelines and social norms that are perceived as intrinsic to all of these achievements,tradition it's a very important part of the maintenance. You brake on social norms and you are ostracized quickly,talk about "Canceled Culture",they are masters at that,although in a very Japanese way,no drama,you are just exited and gone

    My friend who is a white American is frustrated and I think he cries a lot when he’s alone because he is attracted to Asian men who systemically won’t give him a chance. He wants monogamy, fidelity, commitment, companionship, and passion.... with an Asian man. He finds it so difficult to get noticed and taken seriously. His experience has been Asian men systematically feel either unwanted or fetishized. He just wants them to know that they matter and he wants to find the right one to make feel valued and cared for. He knows that they don’t want to be stereotyped as submissive bottoms. He is very center in his sexuality and loves to penetrate and be penetrated. It’s not a power struggle for him, he just wants an Asian man (preferably either foreign citizen or first generation Asian-American or Asian-Canadian) who is interested in giving him a chance.

      I may just be a stranger to you, and I'm replying 4 months later. I just want to say that it's alright to be scared, come out only when you're ready or when it is safe to come out depending on your environment. I too was scared and I would cry myself to sleep, but little by little I start to take small steps; I came out to a friend who's very open minded, and from then on I've come out to all my friends and they support me all the way; I have an amazing support system. It's hard and scary to accept yourself isn't it? That's okay, just make sure to not give up, do not hate yourself because of who you are and who you like, you're a human being and deserved to be loved, so I want you to accept yourself wholeheartedly and realise that there's no problem being part of the LGBT. Anyways happy pride month, I wish you luck!

Straight people never have to come out. Straight people never get bullied for being straight. Straight people are never forced to go through "conversion therapy" by their parents. Straight people never have to get told they're sinners.

      We all do have our own truths. We are all Gods & Goddesses ... well most anyway. The creator who is beyond comprehension can’t be reduced to a label , one name, one belief. The world is corrupt now because no one was able to live in their truth for too long. Centuries went by where people accepted others truth as their own as they watched the enslavement and genocide of millions of innocent lives during the last millennia.
      When people are able to be themselves genuinely you will see a shift in acceptance which brings unconditional love & transparency. Out of the chaos will come order. Keep the faith.
