Applicants will be limited to residents of Tokyo, which includes foreign nationals living there. The intention is “to promote understanding among Tokyo residents about sexual diversity and to reduce inconveniences in daily lives surrounding sexual minorities in order to create more pleasant living conditions for them,”…
