(First part omitted)
By the way, I heard that you were in a TV show "Koko ga
Hendayo Nihonjin." I could not see the show on TV but I
was surprised very much as I heard it.
I didn't think deeply about your sexuality. I just understood
that there were various kinds of people. I will keep that way
as long as you are my sister. It doesn't matter. However, it
does matter to me as wife and daughter-in-low.
Family and relatives of my husband that I married into are
classical-minded and never know of the world you are in. I
am just a wife and total stranger among them. I never dare
to tell my husband about you. But he might know if he saw
the show you appeared. Then I'll get in trouble. You are with
people who understand you well but I am not. Neither is our
own family. Imagine our parents see the TV show together with
their long-time associates who know you. They should be embarrassed.
I am worried if my family-in-law sees the show so much that
I'm having a pain in my stomach. Please keep in mind that
there are only a few people who understand homosexuality.
Please think about me being apart from my house and hanging
on as a wife and a mother.
Please don't appear on media like that and stay with people
who accept you. People around you will encourage you but there
are others. I am your sister but I am wife who entered into
the family-in-law. Please don't forget.
And please don't tell my kids till they grew up (till about
30). As a general mother, I would like to have some grandchildren.
I don't want them have information unless they request. I'm
not going to make objections in how they live their life after
they grew up. But I think the information is not necessary
for them right now. Would you understand what I want to say?
We are living different life. I want to get along with you
the rest of my life because you are my sister. That's why
I wrote this letter.
PS
Please write me back and tell me how you felt about this letter,
about what I think. I want to know whether I am wrong or not.
Please write me soon.
