As of June 2019, laws in Japan ensured the equal treatment of LGBTI people with regards to same-sex consensual sexual acts and legal gender changes. There was no nationwide law in force protecting LGBTI people against discrimination, resulting in a legal LGBTI inclusivity of zero percent in that category. 24 percent of laws deemed critical for the equal treatment of LGBTI people were in force in Japan, as compared to an OECD-wide average of 53 percent.
