    So same sex marriage bans are unconstitutional, but the marriage unions are still not legally recognized? So close!

        I suspect that the courts decided that the legislature has to create a mechanism to recognize but can no longer block marriages.

    Polls show up to 70% of the population supports same-sex unions.

    Good to see most Japanese people being on the right side of history.
