AJapanese court has ruled that a ban on same-sex marriage does not violate the country's constitution.

 

Judge Doi Fumi, of the Osaka District Court, ruled Monday that the Japanese Constitution does not confer protections on gay marriage. The plaintiffs in the case, three same-sex couples, say they will appeal the ruling to the Osaka High Court.

 

The court agreed with the case presented by the government, which argued that the purpose of marriage is reproduction. Furthermore, the court determined, according to a translation of the ruling, that marriage serves the "pragmatic purpose" of "protecting men and women to bear children and raise them together in cohabitation."

 

"Marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes and it shall be maintained through mutual cooperation with the equal rights of husband and wife as a basis," reads the Japanese Constitution.

 

The ruling, according to a BBC translation, did recognize that for the sake of "individual dignity," there is likely "some benefit" to officially recognizing same-sex couples.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian attacks laid down a curtain of fire Tuesday across areas of eastern Ukraine where pockets of resistance are denying Moscow full military control of the region, almost four months after the Kremlin unleashed an invasion.

 

“Today everything that can burn is on fire,” Serhiy Haidai, the governor of Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region, told The Associated Press.

 

Russia’s war has caused alarm over food supplies from Ukraine to the rest of the world and gas supplies from Russia, as well as raising questions about security in Western Europe.

 

The Russian military currently controls about 95% of the Luhansk region. But Moscow has struggled for weeks to overrun it completely, despite deploying additional troops and possessing a massive advantage in military assets.

 

In the city of Sievierodonetsk, the hot spot of the fighting, Ukrainian defenders held on to the Azot chemical plant in the industrial outskirts. About 500 civilians are sheltering at the plant, and Haidai said the Russian forces are turning the area “into ruins.”

The Texas Republican Party has adopted a new platform, rejecting the certification of the 2020 presidential election results and declaring "that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States."

 

The 40-page platform was adopted by the state GOP in Houston over the weekend for its biennial convention, The Hill reported.

 

"We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States," the new Texas Republican Party platform reads, according to The Washington Times. "We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure election integrity and to show up to vote in November of 2022, bring your friends and family, volunteer for your local Republicans, and overwhelm any possible fraud."
