‘Major step for equality’: Japan court rules that ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional

admin, , , ,

Japan’s government is facing renewed pressure to legalise same-sex marriage after a court ruled its ban is unconstitutional. Nagoya District Court’s decision marks the second time that a Japanese court has ruled against the country’s stance on same-sex marriage in the last two years. Two others declared that the ban is in line with the post-war constitution, which defines marriage as based on “the mutual consent of both sexes”. Japan is currently the only G7 nation with no legal protection for same-sex unions and the ruling is likely to add…

Japan’s leading opposition party has submitted a bill to legally recognise same-sex marriage in a bid to ignite debate on the issue in parliament.

The Archbishop of York, the Most Revd Stephen Cottrell, told the Synod that priests can still choose not to bless same-sex couples. “No-one has to offer these services and no one will be disadvantaged if they…
