Last week, a Japanese high court ruled once again that not recognizing same sex marriage is unconstitutional. This follows 4 other rulings in the last year in various prefectures. The Japanese supreme court is expected to take on all 5 decisions. If they decide it's unconstitutional to not allow gay marriages, Japanese parliament will be instructed to change the laws within a couple years, it still won't be legal until a law is changed. We are closer than ever before to Japan recognizing it though.
