Gay culture in japan

Male homosexuality in Japan has a long tradition that goes back to the eighth century, even if, until very recently, the notion of the homosexual intended as a person with different erotic preferences wasn’t present in Japanese culture.

LGBTQ culture in Japan has recently begun to distinguish. The Japanese adopted the English term gender (ジェンダー, jendā) to describe cultural concepts of feminine and masculine. Previously, sei was used to distinguish the binary biological sexes, female and male, as well as the concept of gender.
