Thirteen same-sex couples in Japan file lawsuits against the government!

Thirteen same-sex couples in Japan filed lawsuits against the government on Thursday (14 February) hoping to force it to recognize equal marriage.

The five female and eight male couples are challenging local administrations that denied them marriage certificates. They are seeking damages of US$9,000.

The couples argue the government’s stance on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. They filed cases in four different district courts.
Plaintiff Ai Nakajima said she hoped it was ‘milestone’ for LGBT Japanese.
