As Rahm Emanuel pushes Japan on gay rights, conservatives bristle

HIROSHIMA – Since taking up his post as U.S. ambassador to Japan last year, Rahm Emanuel has lavished his host country with enthusiastic tweets about riding the world-class bullet trains and subways, hiking Mount Fuji or sampling local delicacies and festivals.He has also regularly hailed business leaders and politicians with a convivial spirit that belies the bull-in-a-China-shop reputation he built as chief of staff to President Barack Obama and as mayor of Chicago.

In doing so, he has established himself as a champion of Japan’s accomplishments.But a recent string of messages about gay and transgender rights, culminating in a video Emanuel released on Twitter earlier this month, has drawn considerable ire among conservatives in Japan. Critics say the ambassador has overstepped the bounds of diplomacy and crossed into unwanted interference in domestic policy.This could be due to a conflict with your ad-blocking or security software.Please add japantimes.co.jp and piano.io to your list of allowed sites.

What Does Project 2025 Mean for the LGBTQ+ Community?
LGBTQ+ community during Donald Trump's second term, if he is reelected in November.The 900-page document, produced by the Conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, was designed as a road map for a conversative president. It proposes an overhaul of the federal government and includes a plan to fire government workers.Experts have highlighted a wide range of policies in the project that would affect LGBTQ+ individuals.Trump has attempted to distance himself from the project, writing on social media in July, "I know nothing about Project 2025." Earlier this month, he repeated his statement on Lex Fridman's podcast, adding that he "purposefully" hadn't read it.A spokesperson for Project 2025 did not respond to a request for comment for this article.If implemented, Project 2025 would dismantle antidiscrimination protections by removing terms such as "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" from federal laws, allowing for legal discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals.It also seeks to restrict the Supreme Court's decision in Bostock vs. Clayton County, which extended workplace protections to LGBTQ+ employees.The plan further seeks to block access to health care for transgender individuals, particularly through Medicare and Medicaid, and it would reinstate the ban on transgender people serving in the military.

Biden Breaks Record for Most LGBTQ Judges Confirmed
report from The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.Additionally, no openly transgender or nonbinary judge has ever been nominated, let alone confirmed, to the federal bench. An openly LGBTQ person has never served on nine of the 13 federal circuit courts, or on 77 of the country’s 94 federal district courts.An openly LGBTQ person has also never served as a lifetime district court judge in 39 states — or within the borders of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, whose jurisdiction extends to the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.“Having more judges, including openly LGBTQ judges, who come from all of our communities helps to build more trust in the judiciary and brings vitally important perspectives into our justice system,” Lena Zwarensteyn, senior director of the fair courts program at The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said in a statement.“As LGBTQ rights are being subject to litigation across the country, it is increasingly clear that we need judges at all levels of the judiciary who understand what’s at stake.
