If anything I get worried sometimes that her overly camp portrayal might be hurting the gay movement in Japan more than helping it. Some of her media portrayals are like caricatures that makes me wonder if her influence is really going to help homophobia long term.
However, I think it's excellent that she works with openly gay people. Japan is a very homogeneous society so I think that the way she works with people of all ages, races and orientations is very awesome.
Videos like HBYA are a masterpiece in this respect.
