Can the hurdles to learn Japanese for a Native English speaker be more than just sentence structure? Is the way our brains are wired to think/problem solve the result of our native language? Many past philosophers and then later modern psychiatrist say, yes.

Quick! Can somebody say something stupid to get my son out of the news?
Yup, everyone knows that same-sex marriages are clearly the biggest threat to family stability in Japan, *not* the myriad of shitty policies of the LDP…
What do unification church thinking about it? Parallel to LDP?
This is one part of Japan I truly hate.
Japanese love he/she’s, cross dress and LGBT for entertainment purposes. They are all over TV daily to be laughed at not with.
The government has made it very clear, they have no intention of granting them equal rights as in marriage certificates. I think they said they can get friendship certificates, whatever that means?
> Before the withdrawal, Arai also said, “There are quite a few people who say they would abandon this country” if same-sex marriage is introduced in Japan, a step that would “change the way society is.”
LOL! Right, the most xenophobic people in the world are going to move to a foreign country if the government allows some gay folks to get married.

> Kishida said he has no choice but to fire Arai, calling the remarks totally unacceptable and counter to the policies of his administration.
This is rich coming from the guy who was spouting homophobia just the day before.
Kishida and co have done so much dumb crap lately I’m worried he’ll be out before the masks are supposed to come off in may
Damn, it’s almost as if not allowing LGBT people rights will help with the birth rate problem! Wait no..
i agree.
i vote for their right to do so.
but I agree. I hate to see it.
its weak and pathetic.
but hey. they deserve the right to be lame.
Based.
Yeah well he can go fuck himself
Let’s organize a massive gay couples show-up with kissing and holding hands in front of his office.
WE EXIST so get over it or step down
this is one of the milder things a politician in japan can say to be honest
The prime minister needs a good dicking
This guy probably denies the atrocities Japan committed during WWII
Based Japan
