同性婚に好意的な判決

　日本は同性婚を、積極的には認めてないわけですが。明示的に禁じるのは憲法違反だろうなと言う判決がまた出たようですね。

BBC Japan same-sex marriage ban ruled unconstitutional again by courts 14 Mar 2024 By Frances Mao & Sakiko Shiraishi

　まあ、そもそも積極的に禁じていたわけではなく―つまり刑法でシバキあげるようなことはしておらず、西欧諸国と同列の批判は当たらないと私は理解しますが。いますこし好意的に認容するのは悪くはなかろう。

「Two more rulings in Japanese district courts have added weight to the push for same-sex marriage to be legalised.

This week, courts in Tokyo and Sapporo ruled the nation's current ban was "unconstitutional", in line with previous landmark verdicts.

The rulings in separate cases found that the ban breached citizens' rights.

Even as they welcomed the verdicts, activists warned that the historic step of legalising same-sex unions would still need to come from lawmakers.」

　台湾は積極的に認めてるんですよね。

「Currently, Japan remains the only G7 country not to fully recognise same-sex couples or offer them clear legal protection. But it is not an outlier in Asia, where Taiwan is the only place to allow same-sex unions.」

　あとはまあ「結婚」概念とどういう折り合いをつけるか。国民的合意をどう取り付けるか、ですかねえ。
