March 25 (UPI) -- Japan's Osaka High Court ruled Tuesday that the country's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.

The court's ruling is the fifth decision to call Japan's same-sex marriage ban a violation of the country's constitution following similar rulings in the high courts of Sapporo, Tokyo, Fukuoka and Nagoya.

Presiding Judge Kumiko Honda of the Osaka High Court ruled Tuesday in favor of three same-sex couples who filed a lawsuit against the government, seeking 6 million yen -- or $39,900 -- in compensation.

While Honda dismissed the couples' appeal for compensation, he reversed Osaka District Court's prior ruling that Japan's Civil Code and Family Register Act limit marriage to heterosexual couples.

Remember when nobody had an explicit legal ban on same sex marriage, because the very concept was inconceivable?

Yep I sure do! I and many wa5ched in horror as the Obama administration bastardized the institution of marriage by making gay unions legal via a marriage certificate, and wa5ched in c9mplete disgust as he kit the white house in the rainbow colors which the left confiscated as their symbol of homosexual deviancy. That was the day that American liberals truly sold its soul to the evil one, and forced the nation to go along with it.

--- "Remember when nobody had an explicit legal ban on same sex marriage, because the very concept was inconceivable?"

Yes, indeed.

This trend is becoming metastasizing cancer across the world. For Japan:

Japan's birth rate falls to a record low as the number of marriages also drops Associated Press, 5 June 2024

Japan Debt to GDP Ratio 1990-2025 Marcotrends, Japan's Debt to GDP ratio at 216% Fewer births means fewer people in coming generations, saddled with increasing interest on the debt payments.

The world's "liberal" lunacy is growing. Tick tock, says the simple and very "queer" demographics.

This one is a victory for the “make the world safe for perverts” side.

The battle continues.

The alternative of a “civil union”, which would confer rights similar to that of an actual marriage between persons of two different chromosome counts (XX and XY) was offered up, and almost immediately dismissed, by activists who were out to destroy the very meaning of marriage.

Do what you want. Just don’t shove it into everybody else’s faces, and claim some kind of “moral superiority” for it.

Marriage, at its core, is a contract, with certain explicitly defined rights and responsibilities, and all kinds of clauses written in through case law, on the instances of breach of these rights and responsibilities. Mostly the entry of the courts into the enforcement or dissolution of this contract had to do with matters of property, support, or children, and not much else. Morality, or lack of it, was never a consideration.

This comes to mind:

Isaiah 5:20

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter”

In the Bible, ‘woe’ typically signifies grief, anguish, affliction, or calamity. It is often used as an exclamation of judgment or misfortune.

The only way to protect a culture’s basic conditions is to mention it in the constitution and its docs — like: Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Democracies are vulnerable on issues like this since they want to speak as broadly as possible and are usually led by fools unwilling and too lazy to ask: “Well, what if XXXXXX”?

Go look at a modern contract. There is a preamble that sorta spells out what the contract covers and what it does not. That is where basic stuff is discussed and lined out. That portion of a contract, that vague portion, is what judges first look at when convening a hearing on a contract.

Never assume that the top leadership of the globalist left has EVER been stupid, just because their brownshirts (in EVERY country) are.
Don’t imagine that their plans have ever been different or that they will change the playbook.
Even if we beat them back, here, for now, don’t believe that they WON’T be back.
This war is eternal and Satan is immortal.

It sure was! It was the rise of militant, in everyone’s face lgbtq and oppression by trannies and school indoctrination- and the lgbtq crowd “assur3d everyone” that “all they wanted was just to be happy and married like,everyone else” and promised that they would “never go after anyone or any religious institutions etc” beczuse now they wou,d be finally have all they ever wanted.

Satan achieved a huge victory that day

It won’t be long until Japan is a violent, dangerous, dirty place. The leftists have become masters at using the courts to implement their revulsive agenda.
