Let's have a look at the latest LGBT updates from Japan. There's been a revealing poll about the nation's stance on gay marriage, a HIV awareness billboard causing a stir in Tokyo and an inspirational coming out speech from a teenager.
An unnamed Japanese student has given a moving speech about the discrimination felt by LGBT people in the contemporary world. Borrowing the legendary words of Martin Luther King, the student commented on global gay issues as well as his own experiences as he came out to his classmates and teachers.
Despite her loss, Kanako Otsuji is upbeat that her candidacy will give rise to a new movement dedicated to gay rights advocacy in Japan. She speaks to Fridae's Tokyo correspondent Kimberly Hughes in an exclusive interview.
Not only is the 33-year-old Osaka's youngest ever MP; come July, she will also be the country's first openly gay politician to run for for a seat in the House of Councillors, the upper house of the Diet of Japan.
Looking for a boyfriend, possibly a life partner. Applications welcome. I'm someone who believes in clearly expressing your charm. I know what I want. I enjoy mornings that start with espresso and conversations with substance. I'm looking for an ambitious and kind man, confident but not arrogant, witty but not one who turns every date into an open mic night. But at least Wi-Fi, mature in all aspects of relationships, and able to cook a real meal. I'm not looking for perfection—just honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to eat. In return, I offer loyalty, a humor, and genuine listening skills—plus someone who actually reads your messages, not just the first line. Serious applicants only. Passion is required. Tax returns are not mandatory.
