Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

The statistic quoted, that 72% of both Japanese and United Statesians support homosexual marriage, is false.

Japan is not a country that supports homosexuality.

The Stanford Japan Barometer conducted in November 2022 by Kiyoteru Tsutsui and Charles Crabtree found that 47.2% of the Japanese public supports potential legislation to legalize same-sex marriage, 15.8% oppose it, and 36.9% neither support nor oppose it.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

The Public Religion Research Institute survey of 22 000 United Statesians conducted throughout 2023 as part of its American Values Atlas found that support for same-sex marriage dropped to 67% from 69% in 2022.

Japanese do not support homosexual marriage and regard it as an abomination.
