Nearly 90 percent of parents between the ages of 30 and 59 said they would accept their children coming out as LGBT, though some would do so reluctantly, according to an online survey.

The research institute LGBT Marketing Lab conducted the survey between Aug. 8 and 11, contacting 285 men and 281 women. The 566 respondents hail from all prefectures except Yamanashi.

According to the survey, 4.9 percent of the parents said they would view such news favorably, while 18.4 percent said they would be shocked but get over it immediately.
