This is just out before next week's general election. Not an official pamphlet, of course, but distributed among their lawmakers.
Needless to say, allowing married couples to choose separate surnames, is of the devil's doing, too.
A pamphlet that recently made the rounds of lawmakers belonging to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party described sexual minorities as suffering from an "acquired psychological disorder" that is just as addictive as gambling. [...] The pamphlet, which ran to 90 pages or so, contained excerpts of speeches given by university professors and others about same-sex marriages or allowing married couples to choose separate surnames. The speechs were made during study sessions organized by Shinto Seiji Renmei. It states that homosexuality is not an inherent condition but an acquired one that, similar to gambling addiction, can be kicked if a person has a strong enough desire to do so.
