Japan is under serious pressure to go full anal.
Their masters in Washington want to draw a hard line between Japan and China – anal v. non-anal.
This is what they do everywhere.
Japan is the only member of the “international community” that is not full-anal. They are total perverts, frankly, but they were not full anal – until now.
A Japanese court on Tuesday became the country’s second to rule that the lack of legal recognition of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, in a move likely to add pressure on the government to accelerate efforts to do more to protect sexual minorities.
However, the Nagoya District Court, ruling on a lawsuit filed by a male couple in their 30s from Aichi Prefecture, dismissed their demand for the state to pay them each 1 million yen in compensation and stopped short of acknowledging that the legislative body neglected to take action.
Current laws in Japan do not “even provide a framework to protect the relationships of same-sex couples,” violating the Constitution’s Article 14, which ensures the right to equality and Article 24, guaranteeing the freedom of marriage, the ruling said.
The plaintiffs burst with joy while supporters waved rainbow flags — a widely recognized symbol of pride in the LGBT community — outside the court as they viewed the latest development as a step toward marriage equality in the country, often seen to be lagging behind other major industrialized nations on the issue.
The male couple filed the lawsuit in February 2019 after their attempt to register as a married couple was not accepted.
Japan’s civil law and family registration law provisions are based on marriage between a man and a woman, and privileges resulting from matrimony, including inheritance rights, tax benefits and joint custody of children, are only granted to heterosexual couples.
The plaintiffs argued that the non-recognition of same-sex marriage constitutes discrimination and is banned under Article 14. They also say that Article 24 does not explicitly prohibit same-sex marriage.
The state has argued that Article 24 presupposes marriage is not between members of the same sex as it says, “Marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes.”
In handing down the ruling, Presiding Judge Osamu Nishimura said more people have become supportive of recognizing same-sex marriage, and the reasoning behind excluding same-sex couples from the legal marriage system is becoming “shaky,” resulting in a situation that is “difficult to ignore.”
But the court also noted that the public remains divided over the issue, and it was only in 2015 that a system to issue certificates recognizing same-sex couples as being in “relationships equivalent to marriage” was introduced by local governments in Japan for the first time.
It cannot be said that the Diet has failed to take legislative action for a long period of time, the court concluded.
The ruling came as the Japanese government faces pressure to do more to protect the rights of sexual minorities.
Japan, chair of the Group of Seven advanced economies this year, is the only member nation not to have instituted laws prohibiting discrimination against sexual minorities and legalizing same-sex marriage or civil unions.
How many people wanted this in the other G7 countries?
Still, Japan’s ruling bloc led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s Liberal Democratic Party submitted a bill earlier this month to parliament aimed at promoting a better understanding of members of the LGBT community.
The latest ruling, the fourth among five similar lawsuits, follows the Sapporo District Court’s landmark verdict in March 2021 that said not recognizing same-sex marriage under civil and family registration laws violates Article 14.
The Nagoya District Court ruling, however, is the first to acknowledge the violation of multiple constitutional articles over the issue.
As for Article 24, the Nagoya court acknowledged a violation of the section that says laws concerning matters pertaining to marriage and family “shall be enacted from the standpoint of individual dignity and the essential equality of the sexes.”
Their Constitution is more or less a carbon copy of the US Constitution, and the Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution says you have to do gay anal marriage.
