Japan’s national housing information website, Suumo, will offer a service aimed at LGBT, including cohabiting same-sex couples, all over the country starting next month.
The company will develop a database of LGBT-friendly properties coupled with a search function to help LGBT people find suitable accommodation.
A spokesperson from Suumo's parent company, Sumai Company, stressed the importance of providing resources for Japan's LGBT residents.
"There are present conditions where LGBT people are struggling to find property, feeling restricted on living together with their partner in rental houses or refusing to move in themselves,” the representative told PinkNews. “I would like to introduce the owner’s property and support the search for properties.”
Although property agents who cater to LGBT clients aren’t new to Japan, activists and LGBT in the country have welcomed Suumo’s move as an important step for increasing awareness and promoting tolerance.

This weakness of Gays because do not realize who are enemies in limited resources and you see that some women also not respect Gays in some countries.
Gays should know that women not always gays friend, and Gays should know on how women to steal
Gays should also know the way women to seduce Gays to steal.
Gays should see in your countries, how many women population? they are about half of men.
see time running and history for more than 20 years.
If women population is half of men, then they should be very strong to support Gay freedom.
please, Gays should open eyes.
Gays should have ability to coordinate with men because more than 20 years, coordination with women no positive result.
Gays should not blind.

why Gay should make women awake?

If nature of heterosexual men or women love to fight, then there will be so many hungry animals..that will be very good show for public.

why heterosexual men and women having bravery to disturb or to attack gay and with no subject to or abide to Gays? no respect Gays and no shame?
It's time you started living. Use "we" rather than "they". Otherwise, well, you might as well continue not existing.
