- Japan is the only G7 nation that still excludes same-sex couples from legal marriage rights and spousal benefits.

Quick Glance: Oregon Supreme Court Blocks Reelection for Republican Senators
- Tim Knopp, R-Bend, is one of five Republican senators who contested the interpretation of Measure 113 by the state.
- After refusing to attend Senate floor sessions last year, eight Republican lawmakers in the Oregon Senate are prohibited from seeking reelection, ruled the Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday.
- In a unanimous decision that may impact the upcoming legislative session, the court supported the interpretation of Measure 113 by Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade, the 2022 ballot measure approved by voters with the aim of ending legislative absences.
- In doing so, the court adopted an interpretation of the law acknowledged by the state as difficult to reconcile with its actual language – effectively ruling that the clear intent of voters in passing the measure was more important than the plain wording inserted into the state Constitution.

- The family's dispute with the Indiana Department of Child Services over the care of the teenager is now the focus of a potential case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

- The case delves into contentious issues in Indiana, where conservative lawmakers have targeted transgender rights and LGBTQ+ advocates have challenged some of those laws through the courts.
- The central issue is the conflict between the Coxes and their teenage child over gender identity, and a court's decision in Indiana to remove her from her parents' custody due in part to a severe eating disorder and feelings of unsafety at home, as documented in court records.
