      Garma and Char were just good friends from back in the naval academy. It's a very straight place where no men have had sex with other men. It's all about the tradition of being a warrior, just like the samurai of the old days.

        Y'all ever see / remember that episode of Samurai Champloo where the Dutch guy is sneaking around with the gang trying to be gay in Japan because they were more accepting of homosexuality?

          It's been on my "half watched this when it was on TV, mean to watch it now" list for a minute.

          My understanding of the cultural bit is that gay relationships are tolerated over there, but after you reach a certain age they expect you to enter a straight marriage and make children. Real Shinzo the-doohickey Abe hours.
