Only in Japan

[aide]

So yesterday, on our trip out around town, Andrew and I walked from Asakusa to Ueno (which is only 15 minutes from Kappabashi-doori).  There's a gay sex shop near Ueno station that Andrew knows about so we went in to check it out.  We weren't even in there for five minutes before the clerks come up and tell us that I have to leave.  Andrew asked him why (and he had to ask his friend) and they said that it's a store for gay men only and women might make the other customer's feel uncomfortable so I have to leave.  Andrew even said, "でも、彼女は僕のおこげ。" (But, she's my fag-hag) and they still said no.  The shops in Shinjuku allow it but they don't.   Andrew told them they were discriminating straight to their faces but they didn't care.  Uglkjadfsadf.  What the fuck?!  Even straight sex shops, sometimes they don't allow women inside which is totally bullshit.  It wasn't like we were making a ruckus or bothering other people.  That's such crap.  I've never had that happen to me before.  What if I was a guy?  Would you come up and say "Are you gay?  No?  Sorry, then you have to leave."  Or what if I was MTF?  They just assumed.  Ugh.  Welcome to Japan.
