Understand the LGBT at the sports site Tokyo Olympics in front of Para 21 December 4:56
Before next year's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, a lecture was held to deepen the understanding of sexual minority called “LGBT” through sports.
The organizing committee of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics has a vision to make the Games an opportunity to foster a symbiotic society that accepts all differences such as gender and sexual orientation, and a lecture was held in Tokyo on the 20th night.
Among them, Tatsuya Yoshida, who has been playing baseball with local teams up to junior high school, revealed that he was gay, and was uncomfortable that the team was forced to cut and that only men had no changing room. He said he needed to understand diversity even at sports sites.
In addition, Mr. Asahi Yamamoto, who was a former soccer player who had won the All Nippon University Championship for women and changed his family register to a man, was impressive when he gave a talk at elementary school without worrying about gender. “I felt it was important how many people I touched during my childhood”.
The third-year female student who heard the story said, “I had an experience that I didn't know how to talk to LGBT people, and I felt it was important to know first.”
Mr. Yoshida said, “Because attention is focused on minority people, I want to know that there are people like this in the wake of the Tokyo Games.”
