Week 12

I assigned myself the article "Homonationalism". I found the page does not have any examples of non-western societies, so I could add a paragraph about homonationalism in Japan. Also, I think I could add some general explanations on homonationalism.

Article Draft

In 2015, as they passed “Ordinance for Promoting Respect of Gender Equality and Diversity in the Ward[1],” Shibuya Ward became the first municipality that issues same-sex partnership certificates[2]. According to this ordinance, same-sex couples who live in Shibuya are allowed “to rent apartments together, and have gained hospital visitation rights as family members.[2] Shimizu (2015) also expects the ordinance to bring three benefits to same-sex couples: "(1) rental housing within the ward (co-signing of tenancy agreements for municipal/public housing), (2) medical institutions within the ward (hospital visitation and medical decision-making rights as family members), and (3) employment conditions within the ward (e.g. family benefits, congratulations and condolence leave) (5)."[1] In order to apply for the certificate, couples must be 20-year-old or older residents of Shibuya Ward and have to state that "their relationship is based on love and mutual trust" in a notarized document.[3]" The first certificated couple was a couple of lesbians, Koyuki Higashi, a former member of the Takarazuka Revue, and Hiroko Masuhara, an entrepreneur.[3] Since Shibuya Ward passed the ordinance, it has been spread nationally, and other seven municipalities issue same-sex pertnership certificates today.[4]

However, a BBC's reporter points out it has little legal binding force, saying "the ordinance amounts to a moral obligation on Shibuya businesses, which will not be penalised if they do not recognise the certificate" though their names will be posted on the ward's website if they violate the ordinance.[5] Also, as it requires at least a hundred thousand yen to apply for the certificate, some couples actually hesitate to apply for the certificates because of its expensive fees[6]. Additionally, Shimizu (2015) discusses that this system "is not equivalent to marriage, as it does not accord same-sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couples when it comes to inheritance, joint filing of taxes, or social welfare" (5).[1] Furthermore, Shimizu (2015) argues that Shibuya Ward has been criticized for pinkwashing as “while passing this ordinance, the administration also moved to expel the homeless in Miyashita Park and other parks in the ward (5)."[1] Pointing out that the mayor of Shibuya Ward in an interview stated that this is not a matter of human rights, but of diversity, Yuri Horie claimed that the term of diversity seems to be used to divide citizens into the good and the bad; it raises only the ones who contribute to the consumeristic society as representer of “diversity of sexuality” while excluding the useless ones.[7] Yuki Tsuchiya, a lesbian activist, also argues that LGBT individuals are used to promote the Ward.[8]
