Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

Japanese do not support homosexual marriage and regard it as an abomination.

The Public Religion Research Institute survey of 22 000 United Statesians conducted throughout 2023 as part of its American Values Atlas found that support for same-sex marriage dropped to 67% from 69% in 2022.

Japan is not a country that supports homosexuality.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

The Stanford Japan Barometer conducted in November 2022 by Kiyoteru Tsutsui and Charles Crabtree found that 47.2% of the Japanese public supports potential legislation to legalize same-sex marriage, 15.8% oppose it, and 36.9% neither support nor oppose it.

The statistic quoted, that 72% of both Japanese and United Statesians support homosexual marriage, is false.
