Japan&#039;s prime minister is apologizing for offensive comments made by a top aide about same-sex couples.
                
The aide, Arai Masayoshi, said on Friday he would not want a same-sex couple living next door to him. He also said all of Kishida Fumio&#039;s secretaries are against same-sex marriage. Arai retracted the comment and apologized later in the day. The prime minister fired him on Saturday.
                
Kishida spoke at a meeting of government and ruling party members Monday. He said the remarks were contrary to the government&#039;s policy of respecting diversity and creating an inclusive society.
                
Kishida said, &quot;The remarks are totally inconsistent with government policy. And it is regrettable that they caused misunderstanding among the public. I also apologize to those who felt uncomfortable because of the remarks.&quot;
                
Kishida&#039;s political opposition is criticizing the administration over the comments.
                
Azumi Jun, the constitutional diet affairs committee chairperson, said, &quot;It is very embarrassing that the Japanese government, as the G7 chair, has such an outdated stance to issues related to LGBT and same-sex marriage.&quot;
                
A group supporting sexual minorities in Japan is also criticizing the secretary&#039;s controversial comments. The advocacy group says the secretary&#039;s comments do not reflect what most of Japanese society thinks. Japan remains the only G7 country that does not allow same-sex marriage.
