I happened to find out an impressed article from CNN today, please check out this following link if you have enough time.

After reading this article, a simple question came to my mind, "Is there any space for calling out gay rights in Japan?"
Sadly, the answer would be close to "no" as far as I've been concerned. Indeed, the number of gay comedians showing up on television came to increase nowadays and this phenomenon might imply that there is more understanding toward gay people than before from the audience point of view.
However, I don't think the concept of gay rights aren't enough generalized in Japan compared with another Western countries where it can be picked up and being controversial through news. I feel that it's even still in a level that people hardly talk about here.
There should be more space for people who are homosexual to call out their rights and freedom of letting themselves as they are in daily life, in a school, at work, ...whatever occasion.
Being gay, lesbian, or bisexual don't mean a thing. I deem that it's just one of people's aspects as well as uniqueness that should be utterly free to express.
Any comment and feedback is welcome.
