We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The Tokyo High Court ruled on Wednesday that Japanese laws that do not recognize same-sex marriages violate the country's Constitution. This is the second time a high court in the country has handed down such a decision.

double-negatives in the headline means a positive article.

The plaintiffs appealed the ruling.

…because they’re petty, joyless assholes.

Edit: I made a mistake. I thought the plaintiffs were the people against gay marriage. Whoops! See below for a more thorough explanation.

yep, it wasn't just a plain tiff.

You're misreading it (unless you're against gay marriage I suppose) - the article tries to break it down, but it's still a mess.

The plaintiffs are the pro same-sex couples that complained that the state is wrong to refuse same-sex marriage. They appealed to get a better ruling than what they got at first. The second ruling is still not everything they wanted, but it's still much better than before the complain.

OOOOOOH. Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I did misread it. I thought the plaintiffs were against gay marriage.

Japan seems to be a very strict society.

This ruling is saying that laws which are discriminatory to gay couples is unconstitutional.

In their defense, double negatives don't not make for confusing headlines

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 4 hours ago

double negatives don't make a positive, persay.

I have seen one or two animes and based on those, Japan is full of people shooting magic energy beams out of their arms and giant robots, so that's probably why.
