Training was held online for employees of companies that operate wedding halls in Mie Prefecture to learn points to note when serving sexual minority people.
This training was conducted by Mie Heiankaku, which is engaged in bridal business in the prefecture, to deepen the understanding of sexual minority couples.
In the training, Mr. Soichi Yamaguchi, who is a transgender person whose mind and body do not match, served as a lecturer, and employees of four wedding halls in the prefecture participated online.
Mr. Yamaguchi does not introduce "I am a bride and groom", but it is necessary to call "I am two grooms" according to the situation of the couple, and both wear dresses and tuxedos. In some cases, I told him that I shouldn't ask the prescriptive question, "Which is the bride and who will wear the dress?" ..
Akiko Morita, the manager of Confet Suzuka Heiankaku, said, "I would like to help two people who want to have a wedding as usual, not to make a difference because they are sexual minorities."
