Rahm Emanuel Sparks Controversy in Japan Over LGBTQ Rights Push

US Ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, has upset some Japanese politicians with a video advocating for LGBTQ rights and same-sex marriage in Japan, with some accusing him of interfering in Japanese domestic policy. While some argue that outside voices can help sway political opinions, others believe that it is a matter for Japan to decide domestically. Emanuel argues that he is only elevating U.S. policy and Japan's majority opinion.
