Japan is a little more evolved than America is, so I would think it'd be easier to come out in Japan than here. YAY @ ABOVE USERNAME ^^ I <3 WOLFIES!!! See, if god was real, I'd have been a wolf.

This is a little bit of a grey area so allow me to explain. Homosexuality is typically not accepted in Japan. Yes, it's shown in the media but, when it is, it's done as a gimmick. Depictions of homosexual individuals in Japan aren't meant to be taken seriously so, generally, people in Japan are far more tolerant of it in the media than they are of it in real life. However, recently, there has been a movement towards the acceptance of homosexuality. In particular, young people seem to be far more tolerant than their older relatives. An openly gay student would still likely be ostracized, but he or she may be able to find a small group of accepting friends.
