Well the broadcast showed a hetero couple, but how many gay and lesbian couples do you think they ignored to find the "proper" couple?
None. With the exception of a few city blocks in Shinjuku Kabukichou, being openly homosexual in public is virtually nonexistent in Japan. It makes for bad tatemae. Imagine "don't ask don't tell" on the national level and you have Japan.

LOL, what?
I've seen openly homosexual and transexual celebrities in japan all over the place. Hell, I see one on an ad on pixiv all the time.
I think what you mean is that open public expression of romance in general is frowned upon in Japan. That's why this whole special feeling thing is so hot right now.

Why are they all yuri couples though? Not that I mind.
The reason there's so many yuri couples is that people are trying to avoid duplication and there's far more female characters in anime/touhou/otaku stuff than male.

Heavy Snowfall in GensoukyouWhen I'm with my girlfriend in the snow like this, it immerses me in a special feeling. I like it.
