You're right dragon, and it's hard to know the facts about a game that has very little information outside of Japan and in English.

We will have to wait for a confirmed response from Nintendo. I don't think it will work in their favour though.

The game was released with this glitch. It should've been tested appropriately. It wasn't.

Nintendo were then faced with two options. Allow the glitch to exist, which allows for same-sex marriage among males and also patch the game to allow females to marry eachother. Or remove the ability for same-sex couples to marry one another.

If they do remove it, it's discrimination. The glitch, and this whole position Nintendo have been placed in could have been avoided.

But they're offending the same-sex side by not providing the option in the first place. Whether the glitch was intentional or not, the fact that it has been addressed by removing the option to allow for male-male marriage and not include female-female marriage is discrimination.

I'm not accurate on the LGBT tolerance in Japan. A quick wikipedia search tells me that although there are no laws against homosexuality and no legal recognition of same-sex marriage, there is no real hostility to homosexuality.

It doesn't seem like there can't be same-sex relationships within the game itself. The information I've found about this only relates to marriage, and allowing two males to propose, marry, honeymoon. If the option for same-sex relationships without marriage is there, I don't see any good reason why the option for marriage shouldn't be.

If there is no option for same-sex relationships in the first place, then that's wrong.
