Japanese LGBTQ activists and supporters on Thursday held an inaugural Pride 7 Summit in Tokyo, where they called on Group of Seven governments to promote and strengthen support and legal protections for LGBTQ people and urged Japan's government to enact an anti-discrimination law before it hosts this year’s G-7 summit in May.
Japan is the only G-7 country that does not recognize same-sex marriage or provide other equal rights protections for LGBTQ people.
