Akie Abe wore a white suite and stood on a float with a drag queen, as some 3,000 participants marched through the upmarket Shibuya shopping district in the capital April 27, reports malaysia-chronicle.com.
“I want to help build a society where anyone can conduct happy, enriched lives without facing discrimination,” wrote the 51-year-old wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on her Facebook page.
Akie Abe, known in Japan for being even more liberal than her husband who heads the Liberal Democratic Party led government, wrote on her Facebook page that she has been involved in the equality issue since joining a commission set up by UNAIDS and the Lancet medical journal last year.
“I had the pleasure of spending fun time filled with smiles. Thank you,” she wrote.
Japan has national holidays in late April and early May and is known as Golden Week. The LGBT makes use of this by festooning some streets in Tokyo with rainbow-colored flags and organizing events to promote equality for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.
Unlike traditional Japanese first ladies, Akie Abe is known to speak her mind freely that often resonated well with the public especially since some of her opinions are opposite to that of her husband.
She for example is skepticism about a trans-Pacific trade deal and nuclear power, something that her husband, known for his hawkish politics, supports.
She also passionately embraces Korean pop culture, publicly admiring Korean models and actors for their good looks, despite relations with South Korea being rather frosty under her husband.
Same-sex relations were legalized way back in 1880 in Japan and although Japanese culture does not have a history of hostility toward LGBT people, they nonetheless lack legal recognition and are often subjected to social discrimination.

3. LGBT should know characteristic of satan that want to be called God by creating Hate, Libel, Lie, murder, terrorism, etc.
4. Satan created pilgrim/jamee, they kneel, they pray to hate using/ calling the name of God as Coating. Because satan want people to blind.
They could call the House of Satan become House of God.
Remember that Satan often said/acted in reverse meaning.
5. So, you LGBT should always vigilant /keep in mind that when there were some people speech Kindness, it was Crime ( reverse meaning). When there were some people speech Holly, it was Unholly ( reverse meaning). When you saw people showing good image, it is something bad/lie (reverse meaning)
Because that is the character of satan that always make deception.
