Japan Same Sex Marriage Ruling

Plaintiffs' lawyers and supporters hold rainbow flags and a banner that reads: "Unconstitutional judgment" outside Sapporo District Court after a court rule, in Sapporo, northern Japan, Wednesday, March 17, 2021. The court ruled the government's ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional, recognizing the rights of same-sex couples for the first time in the only Group of Seven country that doesn't acknowledge their legal partnership.
