Japans Oberster Gerichtshof wird dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal darüber entscheiden, ob das Verbot der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe verfassungswidrig ist. Im Vorfeld des Urteils hat Marriage for All Japan seine landesweite Kampagne „Love Wins“ gestartet. Hier ist, was sie mit ihrer Kampagne in 47 Präfekturen erreichen wollen.

I hope this passes. Love is love and everyone should have the right to be recognized for it. 

I am not well versed, so mind you, this might be my wrong opinion: current laws do not allow same-sex marriage, no matter how you try to approach it. For that to happen, new specific laws need to be put in place. And I am afraid the current cabinet is too busy getting rid of gaijins to even consider mentioning it.

I still can’t understand why this is such an issue. LGBT issues in Japan are recognized, we have LGBT entertainers on TV, the general public isn’t against it… why is legalizing this in Japan so difficult?

Aside from dinosaur politicians, I mean.

Japan has historically seen sexuality as a very natural thing where bisexuality was assumed to be the default and different sexualities were treated with no much thought, like we treat someone who doesn’t like tomatoes or a blonde vs a black haired person.

I think they’ll quickly bounce back to it as it is ingrained in their cultural identity. They only became homophobic to please the west in and after ww2 because they were afraid of more people dying unless they had them take them seriously

They even mostly have ancient record stating that a man of culture and refined taste wants to know all kinds of beauties and different emotions, personalities, traits, so a man of refined taste would like mens love
