Japan's opposition to gay marriage is astounding. They specifically prevent transgender married people from changing their gender marker, specifically to prevent approved hetero marriages "turning" gay. This law was written in 20 (and originally also required trans folk to be sterilized for reasons I shudder to imagine).
