They are not necessarily the same thing. Sexual minorities can "deviant" people who are straight Doseiai2 (talk) 06:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Merge

I was not the first to nominate, but seems like a good idea to merge this article into LGBT rights in Japan. Other opinions? Queerudite (talk) 14:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

opening paragraph

This article lacks one. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

The opening states that there are now laws against workplace discrimination, but the article on sexual minorities in Japan states that Tokyo passed such a law in 2005. Also, saying that Western influence has led to more acceptance might be too big of a generalization - some sources cite Victorian and missionary influences as the reason for more laws/more consistently enforced laws against homosexual acts/non-gender conforming acts.

little things

first off, what does the last guy mean 'deviant"? sexual minorities??? and what does the first sentence mean "...no laws concerning age of consent..." I don't like what that's implying. I am going to change that. If you have a problem discusss it here. Cloudblazer (talk) 00:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Neutrality

The line, "the army (euphemistically called self-defense forces)", does not seem particullary neutral to me. --70.29.1.109 (talk) 23:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Celebrities Section

I find it very odd that the only celebrity mentioned is Tadano - he's not even gay. There are many many celebrities who are openly LGBT and whose examples could serve as better examples for LGBT rights in Japan. I recommend removing Tadano from this page and replacing him with actual LGBT celebrities who are open and visual in the Japanese media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syounanwiki (talk • contribs) 03:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Napoleonic Code

：Same-sex sexual activity was legalized in 1880 after the installation of the Napoleonic Code and the age of consent is currently equalized.

日本語で書かせて頂きます。上記の記述に疑問があります。日本では同性愛（男色）は1873年に西洋文化の影響で一旦は違法化されたものの、その後の1880年に再度違法ではない状態に戻っただけです。上記の「ナポレオン法典によって合法化された」という書き方では、1880年より前は、ずっと違法だったかのように誤解を与えます。1873年までは日本の歴史では同性愛（Gay)にとても寛容だったこと、それどころか同性愛（男色）と異性愛（女色）の明確な区別さえなく、「日本時男性は、男色を問題だとは考えていなから、若い男性も関係にある相手も、男色を誇りとし、それを公然と口にし、隠そうとさえしない」（『日本巡察記』(平凡社 Alessandro Valignano)）ということが当たり前だったことにも触れるべきだと思います。--110.66.111.120 (talk) 15:56, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Recognition of same-sex relationships

I would like to add more details and crtiques of Shibuya's same-sex partnership certificate system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KKato1994 (talk • contribs) 14:30, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Inaccurate, outdated anecdote

The following quote is only one non-Japanese former short-term resident's inaccurate, outdated, and subjective opinion about the acceptance of LGBT people in Japan. Same-sex marriage has been legal in South Africa since 2006 and in Taiwan since 2019. In addition, a recent survey showed that 38% of sexual minorities in Japan have been harassed or assaulted. [1] I suggest it be removed and replaced with more reliable sources. "Speaking to Kyodo News, Vice President of Stonewall Japan Varun Khanna, commented: 'We (may) have many criticisms for Japan, but Japan still tends to be one of the most sexually liberated countries in the world, and certainly is the most accepting country among those in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.'[10]" Shedsan (talk) 03:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Summary Table

Is there a reason details such as the fact that sex-reassignment surgery is required for legal gender change or that same-sex activity was only illegal from 1872–1880 were removed by user Taxydromeio from the Summary Table? Such details are included on the LGBT rights in Asia summary tables.--Shedsan (talk) 07:59, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
