LGBTQ+ activists criticise Japan lawmakers for failing to pass vital bill ahead of Olympics

Pexels Japan’s ruling party has been condemned by LGBTQ+ activists for failing to approve a bill that protects the rights of LGBTQ+ people. The country’s conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) – which has been in power continuously since it came to fruition in 1955 (bar a few years) – refused to champion a bill by minority parties called the Equality Act, with some MP’s stating the rights of sexual minorities have “gone too far”. Although the bill states that discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community “must not be tolerated”, there were a few homophobic remarks in the meeting. Kazuo Yana from the LDP reportedly said that same-sex relationships “resist the preservation of the species, which should happen biologically”.

Lawmaker in Japan says LGBT don t benefit preservation of species Sat. May 22, 2021 7:43 PM by Gerald Farinas photo credit // unsplash.com Despite being one of the most secular nations of the world, Japan still must contend with ardent beliefs against homosexuality and transgender identity attempting to use science as its basis for discrimination. Japan House of Representatives member Kazuo Yana told his ruling party members that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons are unnatural because they do not benefit the preservation of the species. Yana, a 43-year old from the Tochigi prefecture (province), is serving his third term in the Diet (parliament).
