04-27-2014 Japan’s First Lady Akie Abe joins the third annual gay parade in Tokyo to show her support for sexual minorities. After the parade, Abe wrote on her Facebook page later that she has also been involved in LGBT awareness efforts since she joined the commission set up by UNAIDS and the Lancet medical journal in 2013. “I want to help build a society where anyone can conduct happy, enriched lives without facing discrimination,” she wrote.
