Adachi-ku, Tokyo Sexual minority Be careful with hurtful remarks October 7, 4:17
It turns out that the Liberal Democratic Party of the ward council to which he belongs paid close attention to the members, saying that Masateru Shiraishi, a member of the Tokyo Adachi ward council, made a statement at the ward council last month that hurt sexual minorities.
At the plenary session of the ward council on the 25th of last month, Tokyo Adachi ward council member Masateru Shiraishi asked about people with sexual minorities called LGBT, "All Japanese are L, all G, will the next generation be born? No children will be born who will lead the generation of Tokyo. Is this really all right? "
In response to this statement, the Adachi City Assembly Secretariat received more than 100 phone calls and emails saying that it was "discrimination" or "not suitable as a member of the ward assembly."
The Liberal Democratic Party of the Adachi Ward Assembly, to which the Shiroishi Ward Assembly belongs, verbally warned the Shiroishi Ward Assembly on the 6th, saying that it hurt many people and made a noise.
Masaru Kaneda, secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party of the Adachi Ward Assembly, told NHK, "I am very sorry that this statement will hurt many people. Please be careful about future statements in the Shiroishi Ward Assembly. I want you to get it. "
Ward council "Do not withdraw remarks"
On the other hand, Shiroishi Ward told NHK, "I don't think it will be misunderstood if you listen to what the parliament says. There are various opinions in the world. I say my opinion as a politician. Although I received strict attention, I do not withdraw my remarks and think that I am not wrong. "
