In Japan, sexual minorities are discriminated against both socially and legally. In order to confront this situation, this study will explore the possibility of the use of anti-discrimination laws from the viewpoint of sexual minorities. For this purpose, I will deal with the present situation of sexual minorities in Japan, the Japanese Constitution, and the anti-discrimination laws in England and Wales. Finally, this study will discuss how anti-discrimination laws should be designed giving consideration to sexual minorities. In this part(1), the present situation in Japan will be clarified. In addition, the Japanese Constitution will be interpreted both in this part and the next.
