<strong>Thailand best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Shansi</i><br/>Culture - and to a large extent the religions in this country.

Japan is more or less actively ignoring the gay population and the gay population are very very quite most of the time. No parade. No slogans... just exist. This is Japanese culture - everyone acts differently in public than in private.

Gay bars exist in Japan but again... everybody's just minding their own business. Of course.. Japan will probably not legalize same-sex marriage anytime soon because of specific mind-set rules about it not really religious purposes.</p>
