1. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2023/05/74a20340d484-breaking-news-court-rules-not-recognizing-same-sex-marriage-as-unconstitutional.html) reduced by 88%. (I’m a bot)

   > A Japanese court on Tuesday became the country's second to rule that the lack of legal recognition of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, in a move likely to add pressure on the government to accelerate efforts to do more to protect sexual minorities.

   > The state has argued that Article 24 does presuppose that marriage is not between members of the same sex as it says "Marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes.”

   > Japan disallowing same-sex marriage in unconstitutional state: court.

2. I have no issues with same-sex marriage…basically. But the government should only be in the civil union business. Marriage is something the people should decide.

   However, this won’t do anything to help the nose-diving birthrate. Guess where my priority is.
