Tokyo on Sunday opened its first major community hub for LGBTQ people in October, part of a pre-Olympics project that campaigners hope that it will tackle stigma and raise awareness of discrimination.

Pride House Tokyo is based on similar inclusive pop-up sites set up at past Olympics, but will offer a permanent meeting space and information center, seeking to educate the public about sexual diversity and offer refuge to those suffering harassment or discrimination.
