On February 2nd, “Makoto Otake Golden Radio” (Nippon Cultural Broadcasting) covered Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s negative remarks regarding same-sex marriage.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida once once more expressed his negative views on the legalization of same-sex marriage, saying, “It is an issue that should be considered extremely carefully.”
As for why same-sex couples are not allowed to marry freely, he said, “It’s an issue that will change family values, values, and society.”
Makoto Otake“‘Society will change’… in this era of diversity, this kind of thing is becoming commonplace in the world… Then what regarding the original society that you want to keep from changing? It sounds like we should cherish the old things, like the family system.”
Ai Haruna“Where is the fact that there were no such people in the past?”
Otake“You’ve been here for a long time, haven’t you?”
Haruna“When I heard this, I wondered why I should change. I think the Prime Minister has a partner and a family he loves, but even at this time, he said, ‘I want to live happily with my partner,’ and ‘I want same-sex marriage.’ There are people who say, “I want you to recognize me.”
Haruna, who is a transgender person, told an episode when she participated in a transgender contest.
Haruna“We stay at a resort hotel run by the organizer of the contest, and we’re talking, ‘Who’s going to win?’ They inflate their children’s floats without knowing anything regarding it.It has nothing to do with them.It’s very important to us.That’s it, just.”
Haruna emphasized, “It’s not like if same-sex marriage is allowed, everyone will go that way.”
