Okay, so I just started watching this documentary series by VICE called Gaycation. It follows Ellen Page and her friend as they travel around the world exploring different countries LGBT culture.

 

It only has four episodes so far (Japan, Brazil, Jamaica, and the USA). I watched the Japan episode, and my goodness, I found it really interesting :yes: Ellen explored the LGBT club scene in Tokyo, the fujoshi culture (female fans of yaoi), the general attitude towards homosexuality, daily life for a gay men and women, and so on.

 

I really enjoyed it, because I am only familiar with our own LGBT culture here in the US. So it was fun being able to see how things are both similar and different in Japan.

 

If y'all are interested, here's the trailer:

 

Now, I'm off to watch the Brazil episode! :D (and I may or may not be excited to see some Brazilian men :*) )

Hmm... Maybe I should check that out. For education of course! The Brazilian men have nothing to do with it. No sir. Not at all...

I watched the Brasil episode. Kinda interesting. I don't think we'll be seeing one from the Middle East anytime soon. But I'd love to see one for South Africa.

The only countries in the Middle East I can think of that this series could go to are Israel and Turkey, since each one has a prominent LGBT community in Tel-Aviv and Istanbul respectively. :)

 

And I agree, it'd be cool to see them go to South Africa! :D

I've seen the first two episodes. The Brazil one has some freaky stuff in it. I referenced the Japan episode on the forum for FTCOTW. It's interesting stuff.

Interesting. I hope they go to Europe at some point.
