TOKYO -- A Japanese court ruled Tuesday that the government's policy against same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, in a closely watched decision that supporters say is a step toward marriage equality.
The Nagoya District Court in central Japan, however, rejected a request by a male couple that the government pay them 1 million yen ($7,100) each in compensation for the unequal treatment they face because the current system does not recognize them as legally married.
The ruling is the second that found that the government’s denial of same-sex marriage violates the constitution, while two other decisions did not. The rulings can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
In his ruling, Judge Osamu Nishimura said the current system that excludes same-sex couples with no legal protection for their relationship is unconstitutional and there is no room for government discretion, Kyodo News reported.
Supporters cheered outside the court, waving rainbow flags and holding signs saying, “Another step toward marriage equality."
Asato Yamada, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the court's ruling said clearly that not allowing same-sex marriage violates the guarantee of equal rights under Article 14 of the constitution, and that Article 24 provides freedom to marry by not specifying a prohibition on same-sex marriage.

Ever since the war, Japan has been a generation behind the US when it comes to being “progressive.”
You don’t need a license to be married so gays could always be “married” if they wanted a ceremony.
The government forces gay marriage upon the population as a “humiliation ritual” for the same reasons cults do it.
Japan should stick to their shoguns. The court is full of crap.
You mean Japan is going to get even weirder?

Gov’mt response should be OK on civil unions providing for legal protections, absolutely NO on being defined as “married”.
A distinction without a difference? Nope. Recognizing such partnerships as marriages is step towards the LuggButt crappola of today — which is oriented towards normalizing pedo.
In a largely godless country that already has rapidly declining men/women marriages and birthrates, this is not a good direction to go.
Follow the money. I would NOT be surprised if the US State Department was funding billions for this travesty.
And the Rats have the gall to complain about Russia meddling in US elections.
