今日のテキスト LGBT SURVEY

A survey by a Japanese advertising agency suggests one out of 13 respondents can be classified as belonging to a sexual minority.
Researchers at Dentsu conducted an online survey of about 70,000 people aged between 20 and 59 across Japan. They say 7.6 percent of them fall under the category of sexual minorities known as LGBT.
18.6 percent of the respondents in this group became aware of their sexual identity between the ages of 13 and 15. This was the most common answer. 9.8 percent said they developed awareness after they became 40 years old. And 56.8 percent of the respondents said they had told no one about their sexuality.

"Growing social recognition will allow sexual minorities to live more easily in Japan. This could also lead to the creation of new services and help revitalize the economy, so they offer much potential in our society."

More people in Japan have recently begun to recognize sexual diversity.
