There were no openly gay natnal lawmakers or sports figur.
On televisn, gay stereotyp and discrimatn were mon: the word "okama" was still wily ed a rogatory way. So, I was taken aback when I was missned later to wre a feature about 2-Chome Tokyo's Shju district and found one of the world's nst and most diverse ncentratn of gay bars and clubs: roughly 300 bs squeezed to a uple of blocks, cludg sex shops and waterg hol terg to a wi array of tast -- known as kei (specialty). "I've even heard of one place that is for baiku-kei" (ugly men), Taq Otsa, thor of several books on Japan's gay told me, lghg.

Though tated by the ual agoni of personal inty and need for secrecy, gays and lbians Japan didn't suffer the same outright reprsn as other parts of the world (Bra's anti-sodomy law was not repealed until 1967).
While Japan has been paratively laidback about s sexual preferenc, however, has also lacked the polil and social mpaigng that has helped transform the liv of homosexuals elsewhere. Gayns was and is still largely seen as a personal liftyle choice, not somethg to be flnted or argued over on the streets and parliament. That's one reason, I gus, for Tokyo's relatively low-key gay rights para.
Yet, many gay people still face hardship, bullyg and discrimatn. Taiwan, not Japan, beme the first Asian untry to legalize gay marriage 2019.
