In response, MiyakonojoCity in 2003 passed a human rights ordinance that affirmed the equality of people regardless of sexual orientation as well as gender.
The rationale for these proposed changes is explained, on the citys website, as to simplify the contents. A simplification of an ordinance on gender equality which removes the term gender as well as sexual orientation is not a streamlining but a drastic weakening of the contents.
The Miyazaki Prefectures Miyazaki Prefecture Development Policies of Human Rights Education, introduced in 2005, includes a section on Problems faced by gender minorities. This section recognizes persisting discrimination and prejudice based on sexual orientation as well as gender, and urges active steps toward accepting sexual diversity.
