Nearly 60% of Japan municipalities say current LGBT system inadequate
Fifty-nine percent of 87 local governments that have introduced, or plan to introduce, a same-sex partnership system feel that Japan s current system for sexual minorities is inadequate, a Kyodo News survey showed Sunday.
The survey, which collected responses from three prefectural governments and 84 municipalities in 29 prefectures from February to March, also found that no local government felt the current system was sufficient.
