Human rights settlement reached between transgender bride, Saskatoon boutiqueThe StarPhoenix, September 11
A settlement has been reached after a local transgender bride filed a discrimination complaint against a Saskatoon bridal shop.
Singh Peace, a native of India who came to Saskatoon in January 2010 to pursue her master's degree in biotechnology, said she went into the store with her then-fiancee, Colin Peace, on April 21. Singh Peace said she was not allowed to try on wedding dresses because she was a man.
The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission said Wednesday that a mediated settlement between the two parties had been agreed upon.
The commission said the business owner "infringed Section 12 of The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code by denying a transgender woman service."
The case garnered city-wide attention, including a rally that drew nearly 100 people in support of Peace and her now-husband.
