NHK Nagoya Station Launches Campaign on 'Diverse Gender Identities': 'Thanks for Being You'

NHK Nagoya Station is conducting a campaign leading up to World Pride Month in June, featuring special programs and projects that explore the importance of individual diversity, with a focus on 'diverse gender identities.' The theme for this fourth annual campaign is 'Thanks for being you!' This year, the station has produced a documentary where LGBTQ+ individuals write letters to their loved ones, encouraging viewers to reflect on diverse ways of living through the words of various people and to consider a society where everyone can live as themselves. Pride Month is an international commemorative month to honor and deepen understanding of the rights and diversity of LGBTQ+ people. The program lineup includes 'Tokai Domannaka! - Thanks for being you: LGBTQ+,' which will air on General TV (Aichi, Gifu, Mie, Shizuoka) on May 29 at 7:30 PM and on E-Tele (nationwide) on June 7 at 12:40 AM. The program features celebrities such as Shinjiro Atae of AAA and model Kayo Sato sharing letters to their loved ones. Additionally, mini-programs will air from May 26 to 29, and the radio drama 'Rainbow Braids' will be broadcast nationwide on NHK FM on June 13. All programs will be available for catch-up streaming on 'NHK ONE'.
