Ishihara Shintaro, Governor of Tokyo: gay, "a pity"
On December 7th, Tokyo Governor, Shintaro Ishihara said about gay "I feel that they lack something. I think that has a basis in genetics, I feel sorry because they are minorities".

*snip*, ... he said "You know a demimonde of gay people get their faces on TV without scruple. Japan is getting too unruly", on Dec.3. (An omittion).

On December 7th, Ishihara said, as a memory of his past visit to San Francisco, "I saw a gay parade, and they looked really pitiful. Although there are pairs of men and pairs of women, I feel something has got to be missing with them".

As to TV appearance by gay people, "Featuring their aspect of homosexuality especially, show upping and doing something have never seen in any other country except Japan", said Ishihara again.

Japanese mass communication is out of order.
This issue is hardly reported on newspapers, TV and  in other public news media and press.
I think that this current situation in Japan is shameful.
