1. This is important to the US…why?

2. Shouldn’t he go back to Chicago and fix the gun problems and murder rate first before enforcing his agenda here?

3. Go home Raum.

   Food prices and fuel prices are going through the roof.

   We actually have IMPORTANT things to worry about over here.

4. As much as I hope Japan does this.
   Fucking America. Just get your own book burning , school shooting , bankrupting healthcare system in order !
   Stop fucking with all other countries.

5. Expecting the LDP to actually do something is too high a bar.

6. As long as the old dinosaurs are in charge nothing will happen

7. Some of y’all really don’t know what an ambassador is and it shows

8. Clearly, interference in internal affairs.

9. Don’t lose your unique culture Japan.

   America is great at many things but. They are excessively great at pushing TOO MUCH freedom. I’m not sure if they are right or wrong in doing so.

10. Real talk: Japan has a genuine interest in preventing people from being gay because they need people to have kids

11. Rahm Emanuel covered up police murder. Fuck him. But also yes to LGBTQ+ rights.

12. How about banning all discrimination?
    It’s still legal to discriminate against foreigners and anyone else in Japan.

13. And forgive me, US Ambassador, but I hope you can help me someday.

14. Trying to get anything clear and unambiguous from Japan is a long shot

15. Lol. Clear and unambiguous like his tenure in Chicago you mean?

16. The LDP isn’t neoliberal. It’s supported by elderly people in local communities and various religious (almost cult) groups. In this regard, it’s similar to the US Republican. The supporters have a strong condemnation of LGBTQ even more than 60% answers approval to the same sex marriage in a questionnaire. The leading party is afraid of losing their support.
