"people are conservative". Perfect, not allowing same sex marriage is now "conservative". This is how fickle people are, perfect example.

Edit: Just as a side note, I saw western people bend over backwards to please people when I went to Japan. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy some treatment they get will be positive when you behave in such a way (like a guy bowing 5 times just for getting his photo taken, stuff that would never happen to anyone else) almost embarrassing really.
