SOUTH KOREA CELEBRAT GAY PRI PARA SEOUL
Holland (Go Taob) was the first openly Gay K-pop idol South Korea. Also, Girls Generatn’s Seohyun did a stellar performance as Ji An Na Hello Dracula as a gay woman who liv by the bilatg nstrictns of her mother and experienc a harsh break up wh her girliend of 8 years. Some Konglish words (borrowed words om English) clu 프라이드 p-ra-i-u (Pri), 엘지비티 el-ji-bi-ti (LGBT), 게이 (Gay), 트랜스젠더 t-raen-s-gen-o (Transgenr).
But there are Korean words ed wily to scribe and refer to queer people and queer experienc like 성소수사자 seong-so-su-sa-ja (LGBTQ+), 동성애 dong-seong-ae (homosexualy), 성지향성 seong-ji-hyang-seong (sexual orientatn), 양성애 yang-seong-ae (bisexualy), 범성애 beom-seong-ae (pansexualy), 무성애 mu-seong-ae (asexualy) and the verb for g out is 동성애자임을 밝히다 dong-seong-ae-ja-im-l bak-hi-da. Acrdg to the 2016 Korean General Social Survey (KGSS), around 58% of rponnts supported anti-discrimatn legislatn clive of sexual orientatn, and—acrdg to the Pew Rearch Center—South Korea experienced a 19-pot crease public acceptance of homosexualy (25% to 44%) om 2002 to 2019. For example, several mtee members work wh the Korean gay human rights associatn “친구사이” (pronounced Chgai), meang “Between Friends, ” or the Korea Feratn for HIV/AIDS Preventn.
In addn, a host of anti-gay protters always acpani the ftival, often latg their prott to physil altertns. The dynamic between LGBTI paragoers, anti-gay protters, and the police was most notably exemplified at the gural sister event to the SQCF, the Incheon Queer Culture Ftival.

The protts layed the event’s start—a 20-mute pri para—by several hours, and once began, 300 paragoers were physilly blockad by nearly 1, 000 anti-gay protters. Unfortunately, they only booked eight of the 1, 000+ anti-gay protters (whout tentn) for their behavr at the event. Signs both Korean and English rmed that we would burn hell, that gay people were spreadg AIDS, and that God hated for our ss.

This drs ma om the flags of untri which still ban homosexualy. The highlight of the para for me was beg part of a love-tmps-hate moment of credible potency: before the para reached s end, a middle-aged man wh a large woon cross draped around his neck and a ‘Homosexualy is a S’ sign grasped firmly hand leapt atop the railgs, towerg over . We uld all see his thoughts clear as day at that moment, and he was certa, whout a shadow of a doubt, that what he was about to say would fely turn all the gay people straight and right the wrongs of the sful people.
