Exchange space: Friend SHIP Yokohama
It is a space where you can spend time with peace of mind without hiding that you like the same sex and that the gender of the mind and body do not match (sexual minorities). Staff who have related books and understand sexual minorities are also stationed. You can spend time slowly while talking. (Advance reservations are not required.)
Last updated on March 25, 2025.
I'll be waiting for you like this.
- I want to talk to someone about my thoughts as a sexual minority that I can't usually speak easily.
- I would like advice on how to find information about sexual minorities and how to find safe sites.
- I want to read books related to sexual minorities without worrying about my eyes.
- I have a doubt about my sexuality …Etc.
We also welcome those who are not sure if they are a sexual minority or are wondering.
It is also available to family members of sexual minorities, teachers, and those with an understanding of sexual minorities.
