I'm actually really surprised to see any negative comments on this video. I pretty much consistently cried throughout. To be in a position where I can't share who I am without knowing I will have no one left is my life burden.I hope to be as brave as Ellen or Ian. To be a woman who likes women in a culture where a woman's worth is based on the desire men have for her is difficult, but if we have to face this in order for the future to be a better place for people like me, then so be it.

The subtitles at 14:13 say: "Since it's illegal, gay love is in a sense taboo." Whereas what she's actually saying is: "Since there's nothing set in the law, gay love is in a sense taboo." I can't speak for others, but the impression I get from these two different renderings is quite different.

I actually enjoyed this episode a lot more than I expected. Usually I'm not too into the more LGBT-centric videos that Vice puts out just because I usually find them to be cursory and lacking in depth. This episode on the other hand had oodles of depth, investigating the LGBT experience in Japan which up until now I had heard almost nothing about but I assumed was alright due to Japan's general secularism. Gotta say the entire thing was pretty eye opening and the ending was pretty intense. Hope the rest of the series can keep up this standard of quality.
