George Takei: Gay pride is emerging in Japan

Actor George Takei said he needed both courage and anger to come out as gay and to join the equal rights movement for sexual minorities in the U.S., and he hopes his Japanese counterparts will do the same to make their society more equal.

Takei said during a visit to Japan that he had noticed a movement beginning there, though the country of his ancestry has a long way to go. He said Japanese people need to fight for their own rights and they need to be a bit angry, too.

The “Star Trek” actor also known for his gay and civil rights activism, said he was encouraged to have met with Japanese activists for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, and even some of their parents fighting for their children.

“They have to have courage to come out and share their lives honestly,” Takei said.

Once they get a ball rolling, more movement would follow, like a “ripple effect” that spreads, he said. “So I’m optimistic. I do think that Japan will be one of the nations that have equality and that too will serve as an example for other Asian nations.”

In a country where conformity is required, many sexual minorities still fear discrimination at work and bullying at schools — and many don’t come out. Around the Asia-Pacific region, only New Zealand has legalized same-sex marriage.

Takei, 77, is in Japan to attend embassy-organized events marking LGBT Pride Month in the U.S. He toasted gay rights Thursday at a reception hosted by U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy attended by about 160 people, including Japan’s first lady, Akie Abe.

Tokyo (sic) Issues Japan’s First Same-Sex Marriage Certificate

Holding rainbow fans and grinning from ear to ear, a couple in Japan was photographed on Thursday with a very special document clutched in their hands: a marriage certificate officially recognizing their same-sex union.

According to CNN, it’s the first of its kind in Japan.

Koyuki Higashi, 30, and Hiroko Masuhara, 37, were married in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward on Thursday morning.

"I am exhilarated that the city I am living has recognized my partner as my family," said Masuhara, per Reuters.

And I thought I had a good day today doing a quick photo shoot with a newhalf in a cyber cafe.

I personally prefer old-fashioned halfs but whatever floats your boat.
