Is homosexuality more accepted in Japan than it was 40 years ago? Some people think that baby boomers have paved the way for gay men to live more openly.

Noriaki Fushimi believes gay men are a part of mainstream society and publishes a lifestyle magazine that targets men living an openly gay lifestyle.

The 42-year-old writer and leader of Japan's gay movement is well-known for his book "Private Gay Life," published in 1991, and "Majo no Musuko" ("A Witch's Son"), a novel that won him the Bungei Prize for fiction.
