How come Taiwan is LGBT friendly, yet Japan and South Korea are not?

Japan = 70.

And there are a few other differences, you can notice this here if you compare the two.

Basically according to the above site, the difference in legal rights for gays breaks down like this, scored out of 100.

Is it common for girlfriends to have close male friends who are single and not related to them?

The government however are conservative, and have tried to resist allowing same sex marriage, but that’s really the only roadblock you will find in Japan.

But when talking about the actual population itself, they are very friendly to gays.

South Korea = 48.

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

The point I am making basically, is that Japan’s society isn’t anti-gay.

As far as South Korea, South Korea is slightly anti-gay, this can’t be denied. It’s not anti-gay to the degree of something like Saudi Arabia however, but in a minor form South Korea is anti-gay.

Now, Taiwan without a doubt however is one of the most free countries in the world, so Taiwan has gay marriage, it also has one of the most transparent election systems in the world where they physically show each vote as it’s counted etc (they air this on TV) and it takes forever, lol.

If you lived in South Africa, would you support nuclear power as a solution to the country's energy woes?

In fact, I noticed in Japan that the foreigners who seem to be accepted the most are in fact gay people, I noticed gay white men in Japan with all these female friends and obviously a boyfriend there etc.

Japan’s society actually is gay friendly, very much so.

You can still legally be together as partners there (but it’s technically not classed as the identical thing as marriage), this is something they did in the law a year ago or so, like a half way type of thing.

What is the logic behind the porn being legal but not prostitution? Isn't it the same thing in essence?

I will however have to point out one thing, I feel sort of compelled to admit this, it may appear like the foreign gay person is actually treated better than the domestic gay Japanese person. Meaning it doesn’t appear that random Japanese people who are gay, are necessarily super popular people etc. So maybe the situation of being gay in Japan is a bit different if you are a Japanese born there, rather than a gay foreigner visiting Japan who is seen by Japanese as a “fun” person to be friends with.

Gays are allowed to adopt kids in Japan, but not in South Korea.

Taiwan = 85.

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

It’s possible that Japanese people see gay white men as somehow less threatening/scary as straight white men, which might explain why the Japanese seem to accept gay white men as their friends a lot more quickly than a straight white man etc. I also noticed gay black men there who had a lot of friends etc.

For example gays are allowed in Japan’s military, but not in South Korea’s military.
