Japan's Ban on Same Sex Marriage Was Ruled Constitutional

Japan's SSM Ban
Japanese has a reason to celebrate last 19 June after their court ruled that the country's ban on same-sex marriage does not violate the constitution. The court also rejected demands for compensation by three couples who said their right to free union and equality has been violated.

The Osaka District Court ruling is the second decision on the issue, and disagrees with a ruling last year by a Sapporo court that found the ban on same-sex marriages unconstitutional. It underscores how divisive the issue remains in Japan, the only member of the Group of Seven major industrialized nations that does not recognize same-sex unions.

It was a surreal event celebrated by most Italians, with some shedding tears of joy, expecting a profound hope for the future.

The lawmakers in Italy’s upper house of senate overwhelmingly trashed the bill that would have criminalised violence and hate speech against LGBTQ and disabled people, in a blow to the country’s fight against discrimination.

Japan High Court
Last January, Japan's Supreme Court finally ruled that the country’s law requiring that transgender people be sterilized to obtain documents reflecting their gender identity was constitutional. The ruling was big victory for conservative majority and a a blow to twisted beliefs of the plaintiff, a trans man who does not want sterilization surgery.

Even South Korean Military Do Not Like Trannies In Their Ranks

SK Moves Against Trannies
Christians are not the only people who oppose the LGBT community in South Korea. A recent controversy over a transgender soldier suggests that many Koreans are still hostile to gender minorities.

A few months ago, Byun Hui-su, a transgender tank driver, drew public attention after she was discharged from the Republic of Korea Army after undergoing sex-reassignment surgery. While South Korea bans transgenders from joining the army, it doesn’t have any rule about soldiers who had a sex-reassignment operation while already serving. And until the Byun case no one in the military had ever changed his or her sex while serving, so this case was unprecedented, and it became headline news.
