Uh, what? The leader in “yaoi/yuri” fiction, never mind the androgynous characters in 1970s anime? You sure, Tagei-san?

I like George, and don't really care about his being gay. He has one of the funniest Facebook pages around.

“Takei, 77, is in Japan to attend embassy-organized events marking LGBT Pride Month in the U.S. He later toasted gay rights at a reception hosted by Ambassador Caroline Kennedy attended by about 160 people...”

You just knew stuff like this would go on when they confirmed an intellectual lightweight like Caroline Kennedy to the position.

“Equal rights”?

What a joke.

Everywhere they go, they insist on being at the front of the line.

Japan has always had a fundamentally indifferent attitude towards homosexuality than Western nations, but I think that Takei is deluding himself if he thinks there will ever be a “pride” movement of the same character as in the States or Europe.

That sort of public self-aggrandizement is alien to the culture and would be considered shameful, tacky, and pitiful. People would not condemn them for being gay, they just don’t think that way, but they would condemn them for making an ass of themselves in public, disrupting harmony, and bringing shame on their friends, family, and professional associates by their antics.

His ethnicity gives him no credibility on this issue. He simply does not know Japan well enough to make that kind of statement.

Great, man on man anal & oral sex pride in Japan, that is what we’re really talking about here isn’t it? This world is just becoming more and more enlightened.

Excuse me, I gotta go puke.

Very much doubt it. Maybe a couple of years ago, but nationalist fervor is growing in Japan as a result of Chinese incursions. With a heavily patriarchical tradition, its not fertile ground for the homos. They’d be better going after Bhutan really.

Japan’s first lady is endorsing sodomy? Foul.

Because of course Japan doesn’t have enough trouble reproducing already.

The idea of that wrinkled up nobody George Takei being a homo is just ... creepy. He was the only character from Star Trek I had no respect for.

“George Takei said he needed courage”

That’s not courage. It’s sheer, brazen, obdurate, and public wrongdoing.

Courage would have been seeking treatment.

|a reception hosted by Ambassador Caroline Kennedy attended by about 160 people, including Japan’s first lady Akie Abe.”

And those arrogant foggy-bottom nitwits don’t even realize the depth of the insult in the prime minister sending his wife to a reception with the ambassador.

Obumturd, of course, would just be pleased that he has damaged our international standing once more.

They sometimes say you’re homosexual from birth, but with Japanese women the most gorgeous and desirable on Earth, it’s enough to make a homo turn hetero.

It has been a major problem in Japan for a long time. A buddy of mine is in the navy and married a Japanese woman and she is absolutely gorgeous. She says she could rarely get a date in Japan. Men there are simply not interested in mating.
