In South Korea, communities came together for a photo exhibition focused on queer childhoods as well as a dance & musical flashmob under the banner “Speak UP, Act UP”.

Photo Exhibition

Korean Gay Men’s Human Rights Group Chingusai held a photo exhibition called “The Story I Can’t Tell My Mum” to commemorate the Day. The showcased photos were based on the online submission of the photos of Koreans’ queer childhood, accompanied by their “secret story” of growing up as LGBT individuals. Watch the blurb of the exhibition below.

Dance and Musical Flashmob

The Rainbow Action- a coalition of sexual minority organisations in Korea – added the festivity of the celebration of the Day by holding a dance flash mob in the Daehanmun square on May 17. With the title “Speak UP! Act UP!,” the flashmob aimed to encourage Korean LGBT individuals to embrace their identities and their rights in attaining basic freedom, such as freedom to express their sexual and gender identities. Watch the flashmob on the video below.

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.
