TOKYO, June 20 (Reuters) - A Japanese court ruled on Monday that a ban on same-sex marriage was not unconstitutional, dealing a setback to LGBTQ rights activists in the only Group of Seven nation that does not allow people of the same gender to marry.

The ruling dashes activists' hopes of raising pressure on the central government to address the issue after a court in the city of Sapporo in March 2021 decided in favour of a claim that not allowing same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.

Good.....In before Tater puts sanctions on them.
 
Only Tokyo officially recognizes same-sex marriage, where there are so many foreign residents and interracial relationships. The Tokyo metropolitan government adopted legislation recognizing same-sex partnerships, which will extend some rights to the LGBT community. If same-sex couples in Japan want live freely like Americans do, they should move to the capital.
