A court in Japan says the ban on same-sex marriage is constitutional​

A Japanese court dealt a blow to LGBTQ rights when it upheld a ban on same-sex marriage. Japan is only member of the Group of Seven major industrial nations that does not recognize same-sex unions.

*snip*

ANTHONY KUHN, BYLINE: A district court in Osaka dismissed a lawsuit brought by three same-sex couples. They claim that by not allowing them to marry, Japan's system discriminates against them, and that violates the constitution. The court argued that the constitution only guarantees the rights of heterosexual couples. Plaintiff Yuki Kawada told reporters he's not satisfied.

Marriage is whatever the legal code of the country you live in says it is. If you don't like it vote them out or move to another country.

Government has no business in marriage and I thought the USA had a separation of church and state?

Government has loads of business in mariage.
The act of mariage conveys loads of tax and other benefits decided on by the government and has done for generations.
Gay people simply want the same and nothing more.

 

[Lovebug]

They all wear masks. Not sure if those who applaud this ruling agree with that part of being a civilized country. I could be wrong.

Well then have a happy marriage the government can't stop you. But when it comes to legal issues like benefits, child custody, inheritance and the like the government is going to have its say so.

Civilized gun laws anyway…

I was thinking more of his repugnant 'civilized country' comment.

People like you would see us taken back to 1900s social norms. Imagine, an entire country using its resources and time just to make sure that gay people can’t get married. If the state didn’t involve itself and just respected personal freedom they wouldn’t do this.

But people like you actually hate freedom.

Are you suggesting we repeal all the advantages government offers married couples?

Yup and I am also making a point, what happened to separation of church and state?

Once again I point out California took a vote and said NO to gay marriage

Is marriage as a legal construct religion?

So move to Japan, leave Americans their rights and freedoms.

We thought the Supreme Court took away the rights for abortion for guys?

 

[Redress]

Marriage from a legal standpoint has nothing to do with religion. It is state sanctioned. What a church calls marriage is something entirely different and unrelated. A church can recognize or not any marriage they want.

It really helps before you comment on a topic to have some clue what you are talking about.

YOu what?

If government has no business in marriage they should stop recognize marriage as a civil status.

How does it hurt you to let gays marry?

 

[vegas giants]

Once again I point out California took a vote and said NO to gay marriage

Alabama took a vote and said no to civil rights for black people

It really helps , when you quote me that you know what your talking about, marriage is a religious tradition that the government got involved in and has no bussiness being in. The gays wanted to go in your face ( like normal) to religion.and hurt as many people as possible by using the constitution as a weapon and not let democracy decide

So you do not feel marriage should involve taxes, inheritance, power of attorney, nor any other governmental benefit?

Marriage is a legal contract. Government has no business interfering with it?
