Homosexual behavr has never been illegal Japan except for 7 years, between 1873-1880, an attempt to approach the Christian moraly of the Wt, and has never been nsired a s by society or by relign. In general terms n be said that Japan they have no problem wh homosexual behavr, but wh homosexualy, that is why the LGBT muny do not enjoy the same rights or the same protectns that we have the Wt, and that is why many homosexual people hi and even get married formg a heterosexual uple.

In districts like Shju Nichōme, Tokyo’s gay neighborhood, Japane and foreign talk, drk, and mgle, long-standg private bars, clubs, drag shows, and on the streets outsi nvenience stor. Their relatnships most likely varied greatly by suatn and across time perds, but a typil nanshoku pairg rporated many dimensns: mentorship and stewardship, platonic iendship, as well as physil acts of homosexual sex.

GAY DICTNARY JAPANE

While historil pictns of Nobunaga and Ranma sometim fully portray them as gay lovers, we mt be reful to separate historic nanshoku and the figur there om LGBTQ issu today, and to avoid mornizg norms of that era to f our ncept of sexualy and romance. We n fer queer people have always existed, and that some practners of nanshoku—perhaps cludg Nobunaga and Ranma—might have self-intified as queer or gay if displaced to our morn time wh our morn fns, although we nnot know for sure. There has recently been much discsn the field of lbian and gay studi about Dennis Altman's theory of 'global queerg'[1] which outl the fluence of the Civil Rights' Movement the US and Europe on the velopment of lbian and gay 'inti' which then, through the 'globalisg' fluence of post-dtrial wage-based enomi, nsumerism, the mass media and tourism, turn beg to affect digeno unrstandgs of homosexualy societi where tradnally there has been no notn of a personal inty found on the genr of sexual object choice.

GAY M/M JAPAN - (MOVI & DRAMAS)

In this theory, the US is often assumed to be somehow advance of the rt of the world and the mols pneered that untry for creasg the social space acrd to lbian and gay liv are generalised as suable mols for lbians and gay men other untri to adopt. To what extent have digeno Japane unrstandgs of same-sex sire, fashned a relig and polil climate que different om that wtern untri, been fluenced by wtern mols of lbian and gay inty? Until recently, was impossible to answer this qutn for, even five years ago, there was practilly no rmatn available English about homosexualy morn Japan and there was only one book and a handful of amic papers ncerng Japan's well-attted historil tradn of male homosexualy.

[3] There is now sufficient rmatn available about male homosexualy[4] ntemporary Japan to beg to make tertg ntrasts wh unrstandgs of homosexualy wtern societi. Unfortunately, spe the new rmatn that has recently been ma available, some rearchers still sist on viewg 'homosexualy' Japane society through wtern ey and evaluatg the suatn facg lbians and gay men acrdance wh wtern mols of what means to be 'a lbian' or 'a gay.

[5] Summerhawk plas of the 'difficulti' Japane gay men have 'the inty-velopment procs' (emphasis me) as if there ever uld be a sgular, universal 'gay inty' and suggts that Japane gay men who do not wish to exprs themselv terms of this imported termology are 'nial of their own opprsn. What I wish to do the prent paper is strs how reprentatns of (primarily male) homosexual love and even sex permeate Japane popular culture to an extent that would be unimagable the US or Europe and that 'homosexualy' Japan is therefore very differently nceptualised.

However, I mt pot out that the visibily of 'homosexualy' Japane media such as ic books, women's magaz, TV dramas and talk-shows, movi and popular fictn has not created the space for dividuals exprsg lbian or gay 'inti' to e out actual life. Yet, as recent rearch has shown, [8] the notn of 'g out' is seen as unsirable by many Japane gay men and lbians as necsarily volv adoptg a nontatnal stance agast mastream liftyl and valu, which many still wish to endorse.

'[9] This paper attempts to outle what 'homosexualy' is ma to mean a variety of Japane popular media and thereby acunt for the relative lack of 'inty polics' exprsed by gay people Japan.

TRANSLATN OF "GAY" JAPANE

Although Japan has had a wi range of vobulary for scribg the partners volved male homosexual teractns, some of which date back hundreds of years, there has been a marked change the nature of the terms the morn perd.

Durg the Tokugawa perd (1600-1867), the nanshoku (sometim transcribed as danshoku and meang 'male eroticism') ntaed a wi variety of terms for scribg the partners volved homosexual acts pendg upon such factors as age (their junr or senr role), stat, genr inty, and the ntext which the acts took place. However, durg Japan's rapid mornisatn the Meiji perd (1867-1912), this unrstandg of homosexualy as one 'Way' [doo] of enjoyg sex began to be displaced by wtern sexologil terms such as dooseiaisha (the Che-character translatn of 'homosexual, ' lerally 'same-sex-love person') which suggted that homosexual sire was characteristic of a certa type of person: the homosexual. However, the dissematn of this ia throughout society was extremely uneven and, as will be scribed later, the exprsn of same-sex sire today do not necsarily mean that a person will be nomalised as 'a homosexual' terms of that sire.
