Japanese LGBTQ activists urge government to enact anti-discrimination law
Fox News
LGBTQ activists in Japan are pressuring the government to legalize same-sex marriages and enact an anti-discrimination law ahead of a G-7 summit.
Calls for an enactment of an anti-discrimination law and other legal protections have increased since an aide to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida remarked in February that he wouldn’t want to live next to LGBTQ people and that citizens would flee Japan if same-sex marriage were allowed.
The remarks triggered public outrage, and Kishida’s governing Liberal Democratic Party has begun preparing legislation that would promote awareness of LGBTQ rights but not mandate them. Some conservatives have shown resistance to the proposed bill and progress is uncertain.
