I understand this pretty well and don't find it particularly odd because of what I do, but I've been told that from an American perspective my friend Sayaka--Japanese-American, well-off, young--is strange because she strongly supports gay marriage but opposes premarital sex and the existence of hormonal birth control on religious (Shingon) grounds (it's the religious grounds that she supports gay marriage on, too). Also, my best friend's older sister seems to think, out of an extremely pessimistic view of the future of Western liberal capitalism, that we as a people should just sit down and find out what the most benign form of explicit feudalism probably was and reestablish a (heavily adjusted) version of that.
