Quick Glance: Japanese High Court Rules Denial of Same-Sex Marriage Unconstitutional
- A Japanese high court ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and urged immediate government action to address the lack of laws allowing for such unions.
- The court lacks the power to overturn the current marriage law, which limits marriage to a man and a woman. Government offices can continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples or a new law is enacted.
- The Sapporo High Court ruling emphasized that not permitting same-sex couples to marry and enjoy equal benefits as heterosexual couples violates their fundamental right to have a family.
- Japan is the only G7 nation that still excludes same-sex couples from legal marriage rights and spousal benefits.

Quick Glance: Varadkar Admits Defeat in Ireland's Referendum on Family, Women's Roles
- Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announced that the referendum on redefining family and women's roles in the constitution has failed.
- The government backed the proposed changes, aiming to broaden the family definition and clarify women's duties in society.
- The two proposals sought to amend article 41 of the Irish constitution from 1937 to recognize and distribute the care provided by family members.
- The votes reflect Ireland's evolving identity and the diminishing influence of the once-dominant Roman Catholic Church in the country.
