I was a student for one year and a teacher for two, and I taught all age groups including a few college classes. You're right, they do pretend it doesn't exist, or if they talk about it, they often have enormous misconceptions. I heard "we don't have gay people in Japan" several times, as well as gay = transgender, or it's only a porn thing, etc.

But I can guarantee almost all parents would not react with a laugh and an assumption that it is "just a phase" if their kid brought home a same-sex partner. It's still viewed as shameful, even disgusting. What you're talking about is youth culture's attitudes toward homosexuality - which they have been more exposed to - NOT whether or not they would feel comfortable telling their parents they were gay, or living out as a gay person. I'm not saying everyone is homophobic in Japan but it's so rarely talked about openly that most gay people don't feel comfortable being out to their families. I knew a gay guy who was planning on having a wedding in Hawaii with his partner and still wasn't out to his parents.
