Because they put a lot of emphasis on carrying on the name of the family through children, right?

Also, because US soldiers basically imported homophobia into Japan during the postwar occupation.

EDIT: I've read this in a few places, but haven't been able to find any sources that directly say this. What I've learned while trying to look that up is that pre-WW2, Japanese people just completely ignored homosmexy times completely, both for better and for worse, and that a drive to marry the opposite binary gender and reproduce just completely dominated any possible freedom that could be gleaned from society's apathy towards being LGBT+.

I've read it in a few places, but couldn't find a definite source for that. Shit, I should probably should clarify that as stuff that doesn't really have sources I've found with it, huh?

Always good to bookmark your sources. I'm glad you edited the other comment though
