30 lg on a se where a gay Amerin man sought to obta a visa to live wh his Japane partner, the Tokyo District Court said that the ernment’s failure to grant him a long-term rincy stat was illegal sce vlat the nstutnal prciple of equaly. The Amerin man has cried foul bee he has been nied the right given to gay upl of two foreign natnals who have gotten married overseas wh one of them holdg rintial stat. In the se of such a foreign gay uple, the partner is granted a visa of the “signated activi” tegory for a long stay.
But gay upl volvg a Japane partner are exempted om this special visa le, which was troduced 2013. That means is difficult for the foreign partner of such gay upl to ri Japan unls he or she obtas a rint visa based on his or her own occupatn or other activi. The urt cricized the current system which the rince stat visa of the signated activi tegory is not granted equally to all gay upl, cludg a partner wh a rince visa stat, for nng unter to the spir of the Constutn, which upholds the prciple of equaly unr the law.
