Blow to LGBTQ rights: Japan rules same-sex marriage ban constitutional | English News

The Tokyo district court has upheld the constitution of validity of Japan's ban on same-sex marriages. The decision is a blow to LGBTQ+ rights and the movement against sexual discrimination in marriage. This also goes against the trend in large parts of the world especially the developed countries. This is the second such ruling in the only G7 nation where same-sex marriage is not permitted.
