I heard somewhere that, in Japan, the word “homosexual” has more sexual connotations than the same word in English, that they view it more as a naughty word in comparison to their own terms for homosexuality. But I don’t live in Japan and don’t know much about this topic. As far as I know, it is a possibility, because I think there was a similar issue with the word “feminist”, which has been used in Japan more as “gentlemanly”. But, of course, I’m not willing to just believe something I read online once. Does anyone have any knowledge on this?
