Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has been criticised for saying the country's ban on same-sex marriage is not discriminatory. Weeks ago, he apologised to the LGBTQ community over homophobic comments made by an aide who has since been sacked. Mr Kishida's party is under growing pressure to improve LGBTQ rights, as more Japanese support same-sex marriage. Japan remains one of the few countries in the world to ban same-sex marriage, but the government has said it will not change its position.
The government's decision to allow same sex marriage in Japan was announced in March, after a government-appointed panel of judges ruled that the law was discriminating against gay people. The ruling was criticised by the gay community, who said they were being discriminated against by Japan's government. In a statement, the Japan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (JSPCA) said: "We are deeply saddened by this ruling."
"We strongly condemn the ruling and urge the Japanese government to reconsider its decision," the group said. "It is clear that Japan has a long way to go before it is able to fully respect the rights of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, to live in harmony with one another and to enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else in society, including the right to marry and have a family. This ruling is a clear example of how Japan continues to discriminate against the most vulnerable and marginalised groups of society. It is also a sign of a lack of respect for human rights in this country, which is why we are calling on Japan to take urgent steps to ensure that all its citizens enjoy equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, without discrimination based on their gender, sexuality, religion, or political beliefs.
