Thank you for the information! That was very helpful. I like to know more about the reasons for things and why they affect me. ( I hope that makes sense, I am tired!)
OMGosh, Pres. Obama really made this month GLBT Pride month?! My birthday is June 12! Wow!
How about roles in Japanese society? I read that females have to do stuff like leave the room when her husband's co-worker comes to visit, has to order the food at the restaurant (I think, I'm not sure about that one), and they don't get paid as much as men do for the same exact job. Is this stuff still true today?
