Would you hire a straight, male wedding coordinator?

Why would that matter? If he's good at his job, then why not?

Why would gender or sexual preference matter if the person is good at their job?

I don't understand why this is a question. I would hire anyone if they are qualified for the job and their price was affordable; to do otherwise would be sexist and hypocritical.

I didn’t ask any of my vendors what their sexual orientation is so I’m not sure why that would even be a factor in the decision making process.

Only 2% of wedding coordinators our mail, so I'm trying to figure out why that is.

I didn’t even know mail could get a job. It’s nice to know the wedding industry is open to packages and letters being coordinators.

Huh? Yes of course, I can’t even begin to imagine why something like that would matter

I is there a perception that male wedding coordinators are not as good as female wedding coordinators? Why do male wedding coordinators only make up 2% of the total wedding coordinators in the US?

As long as they are qualified and do their job well it should not matter what their gender or sexual orientation are

Just because it's a female dominated field, that doesn't mean than men can't do it. The large majority of mechanics are male - does that mean that you wouldn't take your car to a female mechanic?

I can’t believe this is actually a question 😂

I'm not buying that argument; I want to know what the real perceptions are of male wedding coordinators, there has to be a reason there are so few in the industry.

I don’t see why it would matter at all.

Why would this matter? My wedding planner (and DOC) was a straight guy. I had no issues.

There may be few in the industry because there may be few straight males that want to do wedding planning. I want to think couples are not this close minded that they think someone's gender and/or sexual orientation determines talent.

This legit made me snort with laughter. In what I have to assume is a joke thread.

View Quoted Comment BAHAHAHA. I love this so much 😂😂

OP... I honestly can’t believe this is a serious question. I’m a speech therapist - a field dominated by women. There were two males in my program. They took the same classes as me and passed the same state exam. Would you question their credentials? Or ask them “why are you doing this? You’re not a woman...” I’m sorry. Get with the times.

OP, why are you asking this question?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

How do you even know he id straight? I hope you didn't ask him that. Also, to answer your question, why wouldn't I hire him if I liked his work? Your description gave us no reason not to.
