This week on No Ginger (しょうがない), we read a listener email that left us speechless:He went on dates with two different men in Japan… both of them turned out to be married, with wives, and no remorse.  We’re joined by our first-ever guest: Soichi from @So_English_Gay and That's So Carrot podcast!  He is an openly Japanese gay man who’s here to break it all down. Why are queer relationships still stuck in secrecy? What is the difference between the idea of open relationships in the West and Japan? And how does one navigate the LGBTQ+ dating scene in Japan? Ginger or no ginger? You decide. Check out:  https://juerias.wixsite.com/juerias-lgbt-wedding or find juerias on X to join their monthly events! We need some new stories!
