COMING OUT IN JAPAN

Kanako Otsuji, a member of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly in Japan, became the first openly gay woman in the Assembly (and one of the only openly gay women in Japanese government) when she came out publicly this week by telling reporters that she is a lesbian and is publishing an autobiography that centers on her quest for sexual identity. Hopefully her next book won't be about her quest for a new job.
