TOKYO - Tokyo will open Pride House, Japan's first permanent such center, next month to raise awareness of LGBTQ rights before and during the rearranged Olympic Games in 2021.

Although there have been similar initiatives before previous Games, organizers said Pride House Tokyo, which will open its doors on International Coming Out Day on October 11, is the first to get official International Olympic Committee backing. "Pride House Tokyo aims to educate the world and also Japan of the difficulties the LGBTQ community has playing and enjoying sports ... while helping create a safe space for the community too," Pride House Tokyo said in a statement on Monday.

"Many people might think that Japan is a human rights defender, but actually there are no laws to protect LGBTQ people."

Questions for 2020 Candidates:* Do you support or oppose a constitutional amendment to outlaw same–sex marriage?* Do you support including LGBTQ citizens in laws that prohibit workplace and housing discrimination?
