I wonder about the next generation changing that. It won't be for another couple of decades, given the current population gap between the young and gap, but I wonder. I don't know that it will change terribly much. I have Japanese friends on both ends of the spectrum. One friend, my former roommate, pleasantly surprised me by matter-of-factly bringing up the idea of transsexualism/transgenderism in a conversation, mentioning a transperson who had come to speak to her class at university. Conversely, my boyfriend visited Florida a couple years ago and was "afraid" of the rainbow flags. He seems to think gay people will molest you without warning. He also said "gross!" at a joke I made involving two of his favorite (male) characters holding hands and/or dating. He was laughing while he said it, but it still bothered me, small as it is.

Sorry, endless examples...
Another Japanese friend once asked me, "Speaking of which, why -are- there so many gay people in America?" I told her that it's necessarily that America has so many, as that, compared to Japan, more people are out. She seemed surprised and somewhat unconvinced when I suggested she probably knew many gay people, but just didn't know it.

Another boy I knew at my university in the US had a rather charmingly innocent, if somewhat caveman-ish response. One of my friends, Rob*, a gay boy, walked past. This boy asked me, half-whisperingly, "Is Rob gay?"
"Yep."
"So, when he sees a girl, he feels nothing?"
"Well, it's like for you... when you see a good-looking boy, how do you feel?"
"Like...'cool.' But I don't want."
"And when you see a beautiful girl?"
"I want." (xD)
"Right. It's the same for Rob, except the opposite."

I don't know exactly where that exchange left him, but I still think it's sort of sweet, somehow.


SORRY I HAVE A LOT OF FEELING ABOUT THIS WHOLE THANG
