Romance › Japan Rules Against Same Sex Marriage by Andres28(op): 6:35pm On Jun 20, 2022
TOKYO, June 20 (Reuters) - A Japanese court ruled on Monday that a ban on same-sex marriage was not unconstitutional, dealing a setback to LGBTQ rights activists in the only Group of Seven nation that does not allow people of the same gender to marry.

The ruling dashes activists' hopes of raising pressure on the central government to address the issue after a court in the city of Sapporo in March 2021 decided in favour of a claim that not allowing same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.

Three same-sex couples - two male, one female - had filed the case in a district court in Osaka, only the second to be heard on the issue in Japan.


In addition to rejecting their claim that being unable to marry was unconstitutional, the court threw out their demand for 1 million yen ($7,400) in damages for each couple.

"I actually wonder if the legal system in this country is really working," said plaintiff Machi Sakata, who married her U.S.-citizen partner in the United States. The two are expecting a baby in August.

"I think there's the possibility this ruling may really corner us," Sakata said.

Japan's constitution defines marriage as being based on "the mutual consent of both sexes". But the introduction of partnership rights for same-sex couples in Tokyo last week, along with rising support in opinion polls, had raised the hopes of activists and lawyers for the Osaka case.

The Osaka court said that marriage was defined as being only between opposite genders and not enough debate on same-sex marriage had taken place in Japanese society.


"We emphasised in this case that we wanted same-sex couples to have access to the same things as regular couples," said lawyer Akiyoshi Miwa, adding that they would appeal.

ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS
Japanese law is considered relatively liberal in some areas by Asian standards, but across the continent only Taiwan has legalised same-sex marriage.

Under current rules in Japan, members of same-sex couples are not allowed to legally marry, cannot inherit each other's assets - such as a house they may have shared - and also have no parental rights over each other's children.


Though partnership certificates issued by some municipalities help same-sex couples rent property together and have hospital visitation rights, they do not give them the full legal rights enjoyed by heterosexual couples.

Last week, the Tokyo prefectural government passed a bill to recognise same-sex partnership agreements, meaning local governments covering more than half of Japan's population now offer such recognition.



While Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has said the issue needs to be carefully considered, his ruling Liberal Democratic Party has disclosed no plans to review the matter or propose legislation, though some senior party members favour reform.

An upcoming case in Tokyo will keep alive public debate on the issue, particularly in the capital, where an opinion poll by the local government late last year found some 70% of people were in favour of same-sex marriage.



Legalising same-sex marriage would have far-reaching implications both socially and economically, activists say, and would help attract foreign firms to the world's third-biggest economy.

"International firms are reviewing their Asian strategy and LGBTQ inclusivity is becoming a topic," said Masa Yanagisawa, head of prime services at Goldman Sachs and a board member of the activist group Marriage for all Japan, speaking before the verdict.

International businesses don't want to invest in a location that isn't LGBTQ-friendly."

Now that's an intelligent and diplomatic statement from USA...China is looking for basis to attack Taiwan but I trust USA they are making sure that if China attacks Taiwan in an unfair ground, they will have reasons to defend Taiwan and gain the support of the rest civilized and sane world..
Quote "this is not a change in policy meaning we are still obliged to defend Taiwan from any invader(former pact)"
So its left for the citizens of Taiwan to decide their fate whether to declare Taiwan a formal independent state or rejoin China.
Nice one the great USA.

For kingdom of God everybody get their levels..and for kingdom of Satan everybody get their level..idol is one of the most powerful spirit that one can ever toil with let alone community idol, not that small one way our grand papa dem dey keep for compound.
You can only destroy an idol when you are carrying a mighty measure of the holy spirit in you otherwise if they come back for you na die be that..I know many people that their life have scattered after burning idols thats if they couldn't kill out outrightly...I just pray she meets a higher man of God that can cast away that spirit of madness that the idol has put in her.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Putin Signals Acceptance Of Finland, Sweden Joining NATO by Andres28(m): 1:48pm On May 21, 2022
LEXYLOV:
illiterates are so many in this forum. Putin has no interest in Sweden or Finland becoming Nato member, they are two different people and no posing as a threat to Russia. Russian is not fighting ukraine even with his 30% capabilities, if it does by now, ukraine would have been finished, not by nuclear. BELIEVE IT or not, only 3 or 4 units of sarmat or iskander battalions can wipe entired western europe out of map, talkless of other icbm nuclear war head missiles russia possess in thousand, entire europe plus your almighty America airforces can not bombed half of russia to rubbles without losing all their fighter aircraffts in the hands of russia new s-300, 400 and 500 sophisticated air defences, russia possess dangerous submarines more than nato, and they have thousands of anti sub and and aircraft carriers missiles that can desrtoy them in a minutes. final point but not the bottom of the list, nato and usa forces entirely depends on electronics warfare, gprs, awac, navigation etc in orbit, russian is the only country in the world that has the system to bring their military satellite down and render their movements and equipment useless. USA AND NATO KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU NOVICES IN NAIRALAND.
Mumu was the moskva ship that was carrying an air defense missile not sanked by a snail moving Neptune missile.....just shut the 4ck up cos you know nothing about military and warfare.
