The Liberal Democratic Party's political council approved the bill at a meeting on the 27th, amid a series of cautious opinions within the party, on a bill to promote understanding of LGBT people, but the end of the Diet session is approaching. As a result, the handling of the bill will be discussed by party executives.
Regarding the bill to promote understanding of sexual minorities called LGBT, the wording that discrimination based on the gender "gender identity" that the person recognizes as a result of discussions between the LDP and the opposition is not allowed. Negative opinions have been expressed within the Liberal Democratic Party regarding the inclusion of the above, and discussions are continuing.
Under these circumstances, the Liberal Democratic Party held a meeting of the Political Council on the 27th to proceed with the procedure for submission to the Diet, but the attendees asked for careful consideration, and the discussion was about after a break. It lasted for 3 hours.
Ultimately, the bill was approved on the condition that it encourages discussions in parliament, saying that it is necessary to deepen the understanding of sexual minorities.
However, since it is less than three weeks before the end of the Diet session, the chairman of the political investigation, Mr. Shimomura, and the chairman of the general affairs, Sato, will discuss the handling of the bill, including whether to submit it.
