Could somebody explain the meaning of the term "yuri" in this context? I wasn't aware of the term.

I think homosexuality is still something of a "love that dare not speak its namae" over here. I've noticed that bookstores in Japan don't seem to carry books or magazines on the gay lifestyle, whereas they're found in any bookstore worth the name back in Canada.

Nonetheless, much has changed. Even 10 years ago, gay people would go to great efforts to conceal their lifestyles. Not the case anymore, at least not in Tokyo.
