Japan seems to be a very strict society.

I have seen one or two animes and based on those, Japan is full of people shooting magic energy beams out of their arms and giant robots, so that’s probably why.

This ruling is saying that laws which are discriminatory to gay couples is unconstitutional.

In their defense, double negatives don't not make for confusing headlines

double negatives don’t make a positive, persay.

The plaintiffs appealed the ruling.

…because they’re petty, joyless assholes.

Edit: I made a mistake. I thought the plaintiffs were the people against gay marriage. Whoops! See below for a more thorough explanation.

You’re misreading it (unless you’re against gay marriage I suppose) - the article tries to break it down, but it’s still a mess.

The plaintiffs are the pro same-sex couples that complained that the state is wrong to refuse same-sex marriage. They appealed to get a better ruling than what they got at first. The second ruling is still not everything they wanted, but it’s still much better than before the complain.

OOOOOOH. Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I did misread it. I thought the plaintiffs were against gay marriage.

yep, it wasn’t just a plain tiff.

double-negatives in the headline means a positive article.
