Homosexual behavior has never been illegal in Japan except for 7 years, between 1873-1880, in an attempt to approach the Christian morality of the West, and has never been considered a sin by society or by religion. In Japan, they understand sex in a different way than in the West since it is not a moral issue, but it has to do with pleasure, social position, and responsibility. In general terms it can be said that in Japan they have no problem with homosexual behavior, but with homosexuality, that is why the LGBT community does not enjoy the same rights or the same protections that we have in the West, and that is why many homosexual people hide it and even get married forming a heterosexual couple.
