As many gay Asian friends have said, everyone thought Japan would be the first and it ended up being Taiwan and Thailand. It’s not too late to lead Asia in marriage rights, but Japan really missed an opportunity to be the first in this.
After learning how corrupt Japan justice system can be from the investigative news articles on Carlos Ghosn I wouldn’t have any faith in the Japan court system to do whats right or just. This is a country that allows people to be jailed in solitary confinement and interrogated for days on end without any access to a lawyer, they boast a 99% conviction rate. This is a country where Judges are scared of prosecutors and look up to them, not the other way around.
Taiwan: “Welcome to the club.”
No thanks, we don’t need lgbt to ruin Japan. It’s not going to happen ever.
Booo America importing it’s culture again
They’re still going to drag this out forever, saying it will be “too difficult” to change the current family registry system which is pretty much built around a husband-wife paradigm. Until recently a foreign spouse wouldn’t even be listed as “husband”, just a note added that the wife, and now head of the household, submitted a marriage registration.

Would be amazing if Japan legalized it. Such an amazing place.
considering gay-relationship have been part of their culture since ye olde times, i was surprised it took this long.
something about west influence cause Japan to be more conservative.
I mean, they have multiple (ancient) terms for gay relationship to old like 17th century old artwork depicting gay sex
