(Tokyo) – The Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (TOCOG) should support LGBT nondiscrimination legislation to protect everyone in Japan from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, seven members of TOCOG’s Human Rights, Labor, and Participation Committee said.
In a February 26, 2021 letter to TOCOG’s new president, Seiko Hashimoto, the committee members urged TOCOG, as well as the Japanese Olympic Committee and Japanese Paralympic Committee, to promote passage of an anti-discrimination law during the current National Diet session ahead of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games scheduled for this summer.

Paolo Guico is not having your casual homophobia.
The Ben&Ben frontman took to Twitter on Wednesday, February 10, to call out LGBTQ+ discrimination, saying sana y maka-move on na tayo bilang bansa sa paggamit ng bakla bilang insulto (I hope we can move on as a country from using gay as an insult). As a heterosexual male, I may not be in the place to speak for them, but I will fiercely fight for our LGBT friends and listeners, he said. You are valid, accepted, and loved. Pilipinas, let s grow up!
