South Korea IDAHO Report 2012

A coalition of South Korean activists commemorated IDAHO 2012 with a call for attention to the situation facing LGBT people in the country with the slogan “Equal Love and Equal Human Beings”.
According to the activists, homophobia is no longer hidden in Korean society. They claim conservative Christians are explicitly, and increasingly, exhibiting hate towards LGBT people and using that position to boost their political power.
The activists affirmed their commitment to fighting homophobia and violence taking place against LGBT people throughout South Korea. They have also pledged to advocate for a legal system that would help end homophobia, including the enactment of non-discrimination legislation.
