Japanese Court upholds same sex marriage ban

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyz7njqwvvo

"A Japanese court has ruled the country's ban on same-sex marriage as constitutional - bucking a trend set by courts around the country that had raised hopes for marriage equality in Japan.

The ruling was met with disappointment from plaintiffs and their legal team who had gathered outside the Tokyo courthouse.

Japan is the only G7 country that does not fully recognise same-sex couples or offer them clear legal protection. But it's not an outlier in Asia, where only Taiwan, Thailand and Nepal offer same-sex marriages.

Ayumi Higashi, the judge who delivered the verdict, said laws on same-sex marriage should first be deliberated in parliament, the newspaper Mainichi reported."

Sucks if you are gay in Japan and want to get married.

This is a very good point with aging populations and low birth count someone one has to work and pay taxes to support the older people.

If you are gay in japan you are not getting a divorce because you are not getting married to begin with.

Declining birth rates and more elderly people to support is one reason many countries will follow this trend. Someone has to work pay taxes to pay those health care bills and pensions.
