Whether equality comes within the months ahead, Hiro (and I) are convinced it’ll happen soon. Our plans are still to retire to Japan together.

Ya gotta love the Purple and Gold on Ishiba's costume in the photo.

Fingers crossed that things shift during his administration.

Also I was today years old when I learned that Japan does NOT co-own the bases on Okinawa.

Japan co-owns none of the US bases, including those near Tokyo, like Yokosuka (US Navy) and Yokota (US Air Force). But Okinawa remains in focus because nearly 3/4 of all US bases in Japan are there.
