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).
