A few months ago Tokyo Disney Resort announced they will offer wedding service in their hotels. A woman asked TDR about same-sex couples and TDR answered it's all right if one wears a dress and the other dresses as a man. The woman wrote about it on Twitter, and so many people retweeted and commented disappointment against Disney. Then TDR made sure the policy with The Walt Disney Company and made an answer again to her that same-sex couples can have a wedding in same-sex dresses. She wrote the answer on Twitter again and much more people congratulated it.
Japanese law does not allow same-sex couples to get married. The Liberal Democratic Party, a conservative party, disagrees because they believe that same-sex weddings destroy the "family" system and that same-sex weddings speed up declining birth rate. Nonsense! The Democratic Party of Japan, now government party, is dull to revise the civil law on same-sex wedding, discrimination rule between legitimate child and illegitimate child, and easier rule of choosing surname when married. Perhaps we should wait until old consevative politicians pass away.
