Collective prayer against the LGBTQIA community in South Korea

Protest in Seoul against the Supreme Court decision in favour of the LGBTQIA community

Around 230,000 people took to the streets of Seoul, the capital of South Korea, in a massive protest against the LGBTQIA community.

A collective prayer.

A demonstration organised by ultra-conservative Christians against the Supreme Court’s decision to recognise the right of same-sex couples to access the National Health Service.

A ruling that sparked protests from ultra-Christians who described the Supreme Court’s decision as a “crisis of fundamental principles“. And there was no shortage of signs with slogans such as “Protect our children from gender pollution” or “Reject the Anti-Discrimination Bill“.

The protest prayer was countered by a second demonstration organised by various LGBTQIA associations and progressive religious groups to denounce the discriminatory rhetoric and defend the rights of the entire Korean LGBTQIA community.
