I was out at a bar in Osaka, Japan with some friends when two girls there asked what type of guys I liked."Actually, I have a girlfriend," I told them. It was clear by their expressions that this wasn't the answer they were expecting, and they said they had never actually met a lesbian before. They seemed curious and asked more questions. Because I'm not Japanese, they could visualize and accept my sexuality.
Theresa Stieger with her partner, Machi Sakata. The couple are campaigning to be allowed to get married in Japan. It felt pretty awful when the verdict came in last month, in June 2022. The court found there was nothing unconstitutional about not accepting our marriages, and refused our compensation claim of one million yen in damages per couple. It was quite a shock.
However, we are even more concerned about what will happen once our baby is born in August. I'll be the only one who has parental rights as I'm the one who is giving birth. Machi won't have any parental rights as we are not married and her name won't be allowed on the birth certificate. On paper, she will essentially be a roommate.
