    I agree, but so is marriage. If you want to be legally married, you have to participate in the reality of the law rather than simply ignoring it which is why this is such a problem.

    I’m just shocked that there are still governments doing this sort of bigoted shit, it’s so disheartening!

      oh definitley, i meant it as a reminder that we are the ones who make these decisions even if it feels out of reach. those who are allies in Japan shouldn’t feel defeated by this. keep the fight moving.
