The ruling bucks a trend set by courts around Japan that had raised hopes for marriage equality.

      It might not. It looks like 5/6 high courts ruled it unconstitutional and this is the only one not to, with the supreme court next.

        That’s a good point. It could really be that just this court sucks.

        I feel that it seems pretty important that human rights be codified and *NOT open to interpretation.
