The legend that queer history takes place in year 1969 sees a diversity of practices. The ridiculous, traditional form is that queer societies didn't occur back beforehand the '60s ruined our morals.

In the second half of the 20th century, Japan rose from a small defeated nation to a commercial powerhouse second to the United States.
