Japanese Beliefs The Japanese believe that loving who you please is your right and there never has been any controversy against it.

Homosexuals In Japanese Media Comedians are considered very popular because they act and disguise themselves to look like woman. They called themselves Okama( オカマ ) which was a very bad slang word that meant Gay. Although this slang was rude, the comedians continued their acts and changed their image positively by their comedic talk.

Japanese language has a huge difference of way to talk between men and women unlike English. These were originally men OKAMA “Okama” became derogatory term for the male who acts like female. There are some bullying at school against the people who act like female by calling them “Okama” (and they don’t care whether they are actually gay or not).

Japanese Idiots’ bullying ( ^o^)( ^o^) Σ （ﾟ д ﾟ lll ） “He acts like those okama in TV shows” “Yeah, he sure does” “What!? I’m not a gay! What are you guys talking about?” “Shut up, okama. Don’t get close to me.” “Whaaaaaaaat” I guess the reason why the male who acts like female got bullied is because Japanese think “man should be a man”

Problem I found in Japanese media The information about homosexuality and transsexual is very one sided. Men Gay Okama Transsexual (Okama) Sexual minority that Japanese media shows

The End! Be Proud Of Who You Are!!!
