Comparing Japan and the world => tolerance & prejudices

[Elizabeth van Kampen]

Maciamo rote:
Isn't it strange that more Japanese fear living next to an homosexual or somebody who has AIDS than a criminal ?

Great! That is hitting the nail on the head. Looks like that so typical and fine sence of humor. Big smile!

Sorry meant to say; Looks like a British sence of humor!!

To be brutally honest here, outside of the "new-half" club or two that I have seen here in Okinawa, and a former boss that was a serious "flame" I dont see too many men or women that openly proclaim their sexual preferences here. It may be different in mainland, but I wonder if the "average" Japanese person would even know if they were living next to a homosexual person or couple.

Not that it really matters as a persons sexual preferences are their own. So I also wonder why a Japanese person would fear living next to a homosexual rather than a ex-con.
