同性カップル住所を無断掲載　三重県議がブログに

　自民党三重県連の青年局長を務める小林貴虎・同県議（４７）が、公開質問状を送ってきた男性カップルの自宅住所を自身のブログに無断で掲載していたことが分かった。県議は無断掲載が報じられた５日、「（議会事務局など）周辺の方にご迷惑をかけている」として掲載を取りやめた。
　住所が掲載されたのは、同県伊賀市の嶋田全宏さん（４５）と加納克典さん（４１）。小林県議が３月、「地方のパートナーシップ制度は国を追い込むための戦略」などとツイッターに投稿したことから、２人は公開質問状を送付した。
　これに対し、小林県議は３月３０日、質問状への回答と２人の氏名、住所が書かれた封筒の写真をブログに投稿した。２人は翌３１日に削除を求めて直接抗議し、その後質問状も取り下げたという。（2021/04/05-15:04）

A 47-year-old member of the assembly of Mie Prefecture, central Japan, has exposed the home address of a male couple on his blog without their permission after receiving an open letter from them.
   Takatora Kobayashi, head of the youth division of the Japanese ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Mie prefectural chapter, removed the address from the blog on Monday following a media report the same day about the unauthorized exposure, saying that the disclosure of the address is causing trouble to the secretariat of the assembly and others around him.
   The couple in the city of Iga in the prefecture--Masahiro Shimada, 45 and Katsunori Kano, 41--sent the letter to Kobayashi asking about comments the Mie assembly member posted on Twitter in March about local government schemes to recognize same-sex partners.
   In response, Kobayashi posted on the blog on Tuesday last week his reply to the question and a photo of the envelope on which the names of Shimada and Kano, and their address were written.
   The following day, the couple protested Kobayashi and sought the deletion of the information. The couple later retracted the open letter. Shimada said he wanted their personal information to be deleted from the blog. Kano said their address was published in a negative context, adding that he felt uneasy.
