9:52Now PlayingOn March 17th, the Sapporo District Court in Japan ruled that the government's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. This decision is considered monumental as Japan is the only G-7 nation that does not fully legally recognize same-sex partnership. The court found that making same-sex marriages illegal violates Article 14 of the Japanese constitution, prohibiting discrimination due to "race, creed, sex, social status or family origin." On Valentine's Day in 2019, thirteen couples filed lawsuits in Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, followed by three more in Fukuoka several months later. Kanako Otsuji, an openly gay opposition party member, expressed herself via Twitter, saying that she urges the legislature to "deliberate a proposed amendment to the civil code to make same-sex marriage possible." In January, a coalition of 116 groups had insisted that Yoshihide Suga, Japanese Prime Minister, introduce a national LGBT anti-discrimination policy before the Tokyo Olympics are scheduled to begin this summer.
