How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

Is marijuana bad for you?

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).
