How come Taiwan is LGBT friendly, yet Japan and South Korea are not?

As far as South Korea, South Korea is slightly anti-gay, this can’t be denied. It’s not anti-gay to the degree of something like Saudi Arabia however, but in a minor form South Korea is anti-gay.

But when talking about the actual population itself, they are very friendly to gays.

Taiwan = 85.

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

I will however have to point out one thing, I feel sort of compelled to admit this, it may appear like the foreign gay person is actually treated better than the domestic gay Japanese person. Meaning it doesn’t appear that random Japanese people who are gay, are necessarily super popular people etc. So maybe the situation of being gay in Japan is a bit different if you are a Japanese born there, rather than a gay foreigner visiting Japan who is seen by Japanese as a “fun” person to be friends with.

And there are a few other differences, you can notice this here if you compare the two.

For example gays are allowed in Japan’s military, but not in South Korea’s military.

What exactly is the difference between a surge protector and a fuse? Can a fuse protect the electronic devices from lightning instead of surge protector?

It’s possible that Japanese people see gay white men as somehow less threatening/scary as straight white men, which might explain why the Japanese seem to accept gay white men as their friends a lot more quickly than a straight white man etc. I also noticed gay black men there who had a lot of friends etc.

Basically according to the above site, the difference in legal rights for gays breaks down like this, scored out of 100.

Gays are allowed to adopt kids in Japan, but not in South Korea.

How can someone get patrons on Patreon if they are a beginner artist?

The point I am making basically, is that Japan’s society isn’t anti-gay.

In fact, I noticed in Japan that the foreigners who seem to be accepted the most are in fact gay people, I noticed gay white men in Japan with all these female friends and obviously a boyfriend there etc.

Japan = 70.

Orchestral Music: How well synchronised in time do musicians have to be to sound as if they are playing together?

Now, Taiwan without a doubt however is one of the most free countries in the world, so Taiwan has gay marriage, it also has one of the most transparent election systems in the world where they physically show each vote as it’s counted etc (they air this on TV) and it takes forever, lol.

Japan’s society actually is gay friendly, very much so.

South Korea = 48.

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

The government however are conservative, and have tried to resist allowing same sex marriage, but that’s really the only roadblock you will find in Japan.

You can still legally be together as partners there (but it’s technically not classed as the identical thing as marriage), this is something they did in the law a year ago or so, like a half way type of thing.
