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

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

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).

What is the dirtiest thing you have allowed your husband to do?

Yaoi

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

How do you see these below?

What are some mind-blowing facts about Michael Jackson?

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

How do you feel about Donald Trump signing an executive order that says there are only two genders?

Visual-kei

“None of my business” is the common attitude.

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

What were the reasons for Stalin and Brezhnev's dislike of Khrushchev?

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 have the value that “guys must be macho.”

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

Why do siblings (or other close relatives) stop visiting each other as they grow older? Why does this happen with so many people nowadays?

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.
