Pride Parade and Prejudice in Korea

Link
6/4/2008

"The Korean Pride Parade, which was held on the first day of the KQCF, has been the most visible and daring event of the week. Seoul began hosting pride parades in 2000. That year approximately 50 brave people marched in Daehangno amid a perturbed atmosphere that was not prepared for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and transsexual (LGBT) mobilization in a public forum. Reactions were mixed; some observers passively watched the brave marchers while others cursed and yelled aggressively."
