In general, no one really cares. One of my husband`s coworkers is gay, and is very open with his boyfriend. Also, two of his classmates over the years were gay, and no one even bullied them. Apparently there was some friendly teasing, but nothing cruel.

People won`t be upset or discriminatory unless you`re not following the normal rules of behavior - straight couples usually don`t go around doing public displays of affection.

All in all, I would say homosexuality is a LOT more accepted in Japan than in a lot of other countries. There is actually a history of if being accepted here, and famous figures in history are recognized as being gay or bisexual.

If that weren`t the case, do you really think there would be so much anime/manga with those sort of themes?
