Do you know the Tokyo Partnership Oath System?
The Tokyo Partnership Oath System is established to create a comfortable living environment for sexual minority (LGBT, etc.) couples who are walking together as life partners by reducing difficulties in their daily lives.
Under this system, two individuals, either or both of whom are sexual minorities, can receive a Certificate of Acceptance from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government upon an oath and notification of a partnership relationship.
Unlike marriage, the partnership oath is not legally binding. However, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will spread understanding of gender diversity and sexual minorities through this system, while aiming that everyone can be active in society in their own way.
