"Gay 'friendly' fascism' or such ideology?

Japan could work, but there is a certain taboo around the gay side of the samurai culture, and homosexuals... The Taboo movie roused controversy, I harkens.

That came about because the Japanese became influenced by European (esp british victorian) cultures re gayness.

I disagree some, as to me, it puts much on occidentals, where there was some homophobic strand (of a different nature, I admit) in the east; Confuscianism - and Neoconfucianism being a major idea of Tokugawa japan - by example; homosexuals can be seen, if I remmeber what I heard, as 'egoisticaly breaking the way of society, by taking an 'hedonist' way of life, refusing to marry and make children...

I forgot the confucian "you must have sons" logic and how gayness takes away fom that. Similar reason eunuchs are portrayed as evil by many confucian historians. Though to be fair, if they have children there isnt anythign saying they cant go and dally with gayness afterwards....
