Best Answer

Homosexuality has been legal in Japan since 1880. Culturally, as of 2014, surveys show about 54% of the population accepts gay people in society, and 36% do not.

Gay couples have no legal status and and most political parties have not as of yet addressed the issue.

Gay people have no legal protections against discrimination, except for some local statutes in some cities.
