 note = {This paper reports on discriminatory speech and behaviors directed
against gender and sexual minorities̶LGBT, or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender people ̶in the Japanese workplace. The data was collected
in the “Survey on LGBT Issues in the Work Environment 2014,” which was
conducted by the non-profit organization Nijiiro Diversity and the Center
for Gender Studies at International Christian University in 2014. 41.0% of
the LGBT people and 25.1% of non-LGBT people who answered the
questionnaire elected to answer an open-ended question asking if they
have seen or heard about discrimination directed at LGBT people in their
workplace. Author used quantitative methods to evaluate which words
were used when referencing discrimination and found that “male,”
“female,” “gay,” “ridicule,” “homo,” “gross,” “okama (lit. “rice pot,” equivalent
to English “bucket;” derogative euphemism for homosexual or
transgender),” “coming out,” “marriage,” “lesbian,” and “sexual minorities”
were used frequently. In addition, because this questionnaire asked about
a workplace context, words like “workplace,” “colleague,” “boss,” and
“employee” came up frequently, but so did “nomikai (social drinking
party)”, “neta (joke material),” “socchi-kei (lit. “one of those;” euphemism for
homosexual),” and “uwasa (gossip).”
　Among LGBT people, words concerning one’s identity were used more
often, for instance the word “lesbian” was often used by people who
identified as women, and “coming out” was frequently used by selfidentified
transgender people, as compared to cisgender people.
　People reacted negatively to discrimination, using words such as “sad,”
“offended,” “discomfort,” and “anger,” and some people stated that they
had “given up” or “resigned” themselves to the situation. From this
research, it is apparent that discrimination towards LGBT people in the
workplace is closely related to the traditional Japanese social hierarchy.
This organizational uniqueness, closeness, and the continuity of
relationships within the workplace make it more difficult for LGBT people
to deal with a discriminatory environment.
　To encourage equity and to eliminate discrimination in the Japanese
workplace is an urgent human rights issue, and at the same time,
promoting diversity in the workplace is meaningful as it engenders positive
attitudes toward the organization from both LGBT and non-LGBT people.},
