2 years ago today I was in Tokyo catching a group of cool women making history at the first-ever Olympic women’s street skateboarding finals. Worked 8am-4/5am that day but felt very accomplished.

Fukuoka district court ruled that banning same-sex marriage is an “unconstitutional situation” A small step for the LGBTQ+ community in Japan 🏳️‍🌈
福岡地裁も違憲判決‼️ 同性カップルが婚姻による利益を一切受けられず、法的に家族と認められない現状は、結婚や家族に関する法制度が「個人の尊重」に立脚しなければならないとする憲法24条2項に違反する状態。札幌、東京1次、名古屋に続き4例目🌈 #結婚の自由をすべての人に #福岡0608
