LGBT laws that ignore the parties involved violate human rights, especially harmful to women.
Why force Japan to follow the U.S. debacle?
Japanese culture has far more history and is more inclusive and tolerant than Americans think.
Japanese culture, including LGBT, has long given a place to one of its own.
It is very different from the ill-tolerance of monotheistic religions.
Take a lesson from Japan.

With every poll, the Japanese people speak out and say "no" to discrimination. The members of Congress we met today are trying to make a difference and protect the rights of LGBTQI+ people in Japan.
