![]() It may take a while, but cases like this one chip away at the law and pave the way for that change. Japan will, eventually, legalize same-sex marriage. It already is - polls show that most Japanese people are in favor of changing the law. Because even if individual lawsuits are lost, they still bring much-needed attention to the issue, and the people watching will see the injustice, and that will bring public sentiment around to supporting same-sex marriage. And we all know that these lawsuits are what will eventually cause the law to change. These men were right to fight this discriminatory policy. Would there even have been a civil rights movement at all, if black people had just decided to never live in the southern states? Would gay men and lesbian women the world over be able to marry their same-sex partners if they had said, "Oh, well.that's just how the law is in this country!" If LGBTQIA, or any other minorities who have historically faced exclusionary and discriminatory policies did that, they would not be able to go anywhere or do anything. ![]() The solution to prejudice and discrimination isn't "then don't go there/do that". No, I'm going to disagree with you because your opinion is wrong-headed. But of course the gay community will bash me for having an opinion. No one is forcing that gay couple to live in Japan. I'm all for gay rights but if certain countries are unwilling to amend their laws then so be it.
