Its very much alive now.. the discrimination in bad even in kor
sad to know that ppl don't have properly working brains ¬_¬
I lived in Korea for a couple years (just recently moved back to my home country). Discrimination against LGBT people over there is still really horrible. Your whole life can be ruined if you are found out to be gay including being fired from your job.
wtf really?!?! ahh~ reading all these bls made me think that there might some ppl who would be supportive (which kinda depends on your friend grp) but i didn't think it'd affect workplace like that... like it's not a contagious disease ffs (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Younger generations (like most of the manhwa artists/authors are) are more open minded, but the country is currently controlled by ultra conservative groups. The current president is supposedly liberal, but he won't do anything about gay rights because there are too many powerful conservative lobbyist groups.
Cities outside of Seoul have tried holding pride festivals, and the city governments will either cancel them or not issue permits for them. If the city does approve them, violent protestors will shut them down (this happened in Incheon in 2018 when I lived there. The protestors barricaded the venue for the festival, trapped participants inside so they could not leave for upwards of eight hours, acted violently towards people who tried leaving. I wasn't there only because I got sick that weekend. Police at the time did almost nothing to help).
Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go for Korea in regards to LGBT+ rights.
hopefully, our next generation would be able to make further progress with the ongoing changes.. even if it's through baby steps.. bc no one deserves to get hurt bc of their identity or orientation :(
Thats because of religious groups.. where I am.. its worse. There are open-minded people but there are a ton of religious groups that go against lgbt community. If I have gay kids, I'm worried for their future
To be honest, no place is free of discrimination...not even the US. Gay marriage isn't even legal in all the states. When there are gay prides, there are protestants marching out and protesting the pride parade. In sweden, some people still get ostracized even by their own family although gay marriage is legal.
ugghhh... i thought we left discrimination against lgbtq+ community in 2020...why the f*ck is that b*tch going around posting sh*t like it's his business?!? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
on a side note, why do i feel like some drama is comig up?（/TДT)/ pls pls pls god if u exist, help moi otp ┗( T﹏T )┛
