Japan court says ban on same-sex marriage constitutional

Under current rules in Japan, same-sex couples cannot inherit each other’s property, house or other assets they share, and have no parental rights over each other’s children. They are often barred from renting apartments together, and from hospital visits and other services available to married couples.
Judge Fumi Doi said marriage for heterosexual couples is a system established by society to protect a relationship between men and women who bear and raise children, and that ways to protect same-sex relationships are still undergoing public debate.
What a flimsy argument, seeing as many homosexual couples adopt, and many heterosexuals also adopt or even choose not to have children. Are we going to nullify all the heterosexual marriages that don't have children or have adopted children?
Should we make all couples sign a contract before they get married promising they are going to have children? Then if they don't, we nullify their marriage.
Silly "reasoning".

I don't know how the legal system works in Japan, but couldn't couples get around the inheritance issue with a written will?
Yes. I'm so done with hetpocrisy.

I assume yes, but maybe other family members take precedence or can at least take it to court.

Oh, Japan... You do so good when it comes to being anti-woke/SJW, but so poorly in this and other topics. What about opposite sex marriages who don't want kids? Those who can't have kids? Are they not allowed to get married and have those other benefits too?

They're just conservative. I think most of us here can agree that the retarded parts of attempted "liberalism" which are classified as "woke/SJW" stuff are a scourge, but Japan is simply not a very liberal country. They don't oppose these concepts because of some complicated liberal analysis, they just oppose it because it's "liberal".

Oh, I know. I rather them be conservative too. It's what keeps their culture alive and well. I just call them anti-woke, since depending where you're from, even the "conservatives" are becoming more liberal despite their supposed beliefs.
Edit: I do wish they lightened up in terms of human rights and the likes.

Yeah, it’s racist because they are light enough already. It almost fucking sickens me the way they put white culture on a pedestal. If they were any lighter, they’d be invisible.
I think you responded to the wrong one here.

What are you on about, mate? I'm saying that Japan should try to remain having their culture (which is conservative idea) but improve their human rights. You know, lighten up on their mistreatment. Not even only for LGB, but also women, and disabilities. Didn't think I need to explain that...

Did you hear, homophobia is woke now.
This is not conservatism. Using the state to forbid gay couples from getting a marriage license is flat out communism.
