Talk:Shinjuku Gyo-en

message: To Exploding Boy. You added a brief paragraph about ohanami in Gyoen and parties being organised by gay bars. I don't think this is relevant to the Gyoen page at all. Perhaps it belongs in the 2-chome section or maybe on gay life in Tokyo. But not in the Gyoen page. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of groups who organise parties in Gyoen during ohanami. Parties organised by gay bars are simply a small part of that.DDD DDD 02:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  SG is well known as part of the gay landscape.  Just last week there were in the region of 1000 gay men doing hanami in the park.  I'd say that's pretty significant.  And since the parties happened in SG, and not in Ni-chome, I think the info belongs here. Exploding Boy 02:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Respectively, I disagree. SG is well-known as part of the gay landscape by whom? Not your average Jun and Junko. I'd say the number of gay people in SG is insignificant to the total number of people that were there on the weekend. Yes, gay & les bars organise parties for their staff, patrons and friends during hanami in SG. Yes, there are many people. Yes, they are fun and interesting events. But that is what? Two weekends per year. At the same time that tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of other people are in the park. Hardly relevant. You should delete what you have written and put it in the 2-chome or gay japan discussions.DDD DDD 02:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Exploding Boy. I think you have confused the discussion. The discussion is about SG. It's not gay, straight, bi, queer, or anything. It;s about the park. Gay men meet in Shinjuku station, go to a toilet and have sex. Most straights do not know that. Does that belong in a discussion about Shinjuku Station. Of course not. It's completely unrelated. As is the addition you made about SG. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have ohanami party in the park. That most are straight and some are gay is unimportant. Cherry blossoms are the reason for the season. Not gay or straight. It does not belong there. Take it out. It is PERFECTLY acceptable in the discussion on gay bars in 2-chome and/or the discussion on Homos. in Japan. If you put it in either of those, I would be VERY happy. And would even provide photos as support. But, it does not belong in this discussion.  posted by .DDD DDD
Once again, I disagree.  That many thousands of heterosexual people have hanami parties in the park is relevant to this article, but so is the fact that some gay people do, particularly given the park's popularity among Tokyo gay men.  Frankly, I would have no objection to having information in the Shinuku Station article about cottaging by gay men either.  Exploding Boy 15:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It's not about whose hand you hold when you stroll through SG. It's about SG. It's obvious you cannot be reasoned with. But, then again, you seem to have a history of leaving people with that impression. Whatever. I'm not going to bother deleting what you wrote,  inappropriate though it is. Someone else can take it out. See you around.DDD DDD 22:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: has moved this page from "Shinjuku Gyoen" to "Shinjuku Gyō-en". However, Shinjuku (新宿, じんじゅく) Gyoen (御苑, ぎょえん) is not Gyō-en (ぎょうえん or ぎょーえん) in Japanese. There is no Length (phonetics) between "Gyo" (ぎょ) and "en" (えん). Is there any reference to spell as "Gyō-en"? --MawaruNeko (talk) 15:54, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
