What can YOU do for the Japanese LGBT Community | Nana Pearson | TEDxYouth@Tokyo

I am currently a senior at the International School of the Sacred Heart. I was born and raised in Japan. Although I admire and respect Japanese culture, I wish that Japan was more progressive in terms of advocating and acknowledging basic human rights such as such as same-sex marriage. I am passionate about this topic because I strongly believe that the gay community in Japan is pretty much neglected. I am currently a senior at the International School of the Sacred Heart.

I am passionate about this topic because I strongly believe that the gay community in Japan is pretty much neglected. I feel that the gay community in Japan tends to mask their sexual identity for fear of social backlash when they have no reason to be ashamed. It is also something that is rarely talked about in public. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
