For and foremost, in a situation were you can't be 100% sure your partner's family will respect you, get the papers in order so they can't exclude you from, for example, decisions you hope will never be necessary but unfortunately might be: if they are hospitalized, decisions about a funeral, decisions about what to do with your partners things after their death etc. If you don't do anything, you have no legal standing whatsoever, and that can be a tragically bad idea (as if such a situation weren't tragic enough).

So get something in writing. Even if it's not marriage papers. #legal_yuri_advice

So, they only legalized gay marriage for women? That's some massive bias right there.

Didn't think about that, but it'd actually be weirdly plausible. In Germany, for example, homosexuality between men was illegal for quite long, but homosexuality between women somehow wasn't. Even the Nazis didn't specifically persecute lesbians. How weird is that?

No need to go back in history actually... Welcome to current day Singapore:

Same-sex sexual activity legal:

• No: For male (Penalty: Up to 2 years imprisonment; not enforced)
• Yes: For female

Yep the world we know is run by retards.

I'm once again reminded that the idol industry is sick.

The real stars in this one-shot for me where the weather forecaster and the news caster, though. Rapid development indeed!

I kinda want a series about them now XD

... If this is in Japan, then the Japanese legislature shouldn't be called "Parliament", but rather "National Diet".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Diet

Japan's system is a Parliamentary system, probably translated as Parliament, because that's what the system they use is called. National Diet is probably just the name of the building, the UK Parliament is in a building called Westminster after all.

It's normally (Kokkai) translated as Diet, meaning the assembly, not the building. Just like "ken" is normally translated as prefecture and not province or state. It's just a translating convention. It doesn't interfere with the story at all, and may give more people an idea of what's going on, but no, the original poster is correct.

There are actually other reasons why it's translated as "National Diet": One, it's called "National" because the first kanji in "Kokkai" (国) means "nation, land, country"; the most literal translation would be "National Assembly". Two, it's called "Diet" instead of just "Assembly" or "Parliament" because of heavy Prussian influence on the Meiji Constitution (Japan's first written constitution), and Prussia is more or less the originator of using "diet" (or tag in German) as a name for a country's parliament.

They should get married anyway for the tax benefits.

Yeah, fuck marriage for love. WE WANT TAX BENEFITS

It's not like there's no love, so why refuse the TAX BENEFITS.

Also, visitation, inheritance, and other spousal rights that could be important.

soon...?

then now men will wait for their same sex marriage
