Photo: First same-sex union certificate issued in Japan

Two women made history in Tokyo as the first same-sex couple in Japan to have their relationship recognized by a local government, CNN reports.

The women, Koyuki Higashi, a Japanese model and television personality turned LGBT activist, and her partner of four years, Hiroko Matsuhara, are the first same-sex couple ever to walk through the Shibuya ward office doors carrying Japan's first-ever certificate recognizing a same sex union.
