The truth is that there are precious few examples in Korean society, either good or bad. Few to no positive gay role models, and under-reported incidents of homophobic bullying really just render the issue invisible.

If you can find footage of Ban Ki Moon's speech on LGBTQ rights in might be interesting to ask why it was under-covered in Korea. Or ask students what they think about the person who threw food at the wedding last week: http://ilga.org/ilga/en/article/ohEETxm10q Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291528540213251189noreply@blogger.com
