Japan's ban on same-sex marriage found ‘unconstitutional’ for second time by courts
Fox News
A high court in Japan officially ruled for the second time that the nation's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and discriminatory.
Although polls show 70% public support for same-sex unions, they are opposed by the Liberal Democratic Party of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Japanese civil code rules that limit marriage to those of the opposite sex are "unconstitutional" and "discriminatory", the high court in the northern city of Sapporo said in its ruling, but dismissed the plaintiffs' claim for damages from the government.
