Life and Death in Queer Korea- Part 2- By Huso Yi 3/20/03 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
During the Japanese occupation in the early twentieth century, the Protestant churches and schools became a secret stronghold for the independence movement. Many of Korea's prominent leaders in this era were Protestants. Both Catholic and Protestant South Koreans are prominently represented today in professional fields such as medicine and education, as well as in various social movements.<br>
This national drama of seclusion and embattlement, conformity and religious fundamentalism plays a huge role in shaping the lives and deaths of queer South Koreans.

Life and Death in Queer Korea- Part 3- By Huso Yi 3/20/03 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
While South Korea's queer groups publicly and enthusiastically support mainstream human rights organizations, it's only recently that the latter have begun to acknowledge that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights are human rights. This has not been an epiphany, but a grudging admission under the intense pressure of the country's emerging queer rights movement.

Travel & Resources: KOREA- utopia-asia.com from '95 until 03 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Homosexuals in Korea have no established tradition of overtly discriminatory laws to struggle against. There are no sodomy laws proscribing oral or anal intercourse, largely because these acts have traditionally been considered utterly unmentionable in any public forum or document. Homosexuality has never been brought before Korean courts. No one has mentioned homosexuality in any divorce proceedings, custody or adoption battles. Never-the-less, Korean society is extremely conservative. A popular children's TV show host was dismissed from his job when he became the first celebrity to proclaim his homosexuality to the public. The number of homosexuals coming out of the closet is growing every day. Korea witnessed its first lesbian commitment ceremony on November 27, 1995. Recent comments from the judiciary have been supportive of same-sex partnerships. Anti-discrimination laws have been enacted protecting homosexuals and education about homosexuality is now taking place in lower schools. Seoul has both an annual GLBT film festival and a Queer Culture festival.

Russia: IGLHRC CONDEMNS THE VIOLENCE AT MOSCOW'S GAY PRIDE RALLY- 5/30/07 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
(New York, NY, May 30, 2007) -The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) condemns the violence at the recent Moscow Pride rally held on Sunday, May 27, 2007 and the failure of Moscow police to protect demonstrators.<br>
This year, for the second year in a row, the authorities in Moscow refused to issue permission to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) groups to hold a pride event. To protest this decision and to mark the occasion, activists decided to gather outside Moscow City Hall to present a letter, signed by dozens of European MPs, supporting their right to peaceful assembly to the Mayor's office. Activists started gathering before noon. Within half an hour, Moscow police were making mass arrests, detaining at least 31 people, including the Italian MEP Marco Cappato and German MP Volker Beck. Most of the organizers, including Nikolai Alekseyev and Alexey Davidov, from the Pride Committee, were arrested on the way to the event. As Orthodox Christian and Neo-Nazi groups threw eggs, punched, and beat up demonstrators, Moscow police were simultaneously harassing and arresting peaceful demonstrators. Ultimately, everyone was released. However, Nikolai Alekseyev was charged with disobeying police orders. His next court date is set for June 9th.

Thailand: Activists want gay rights in charter- Bangkok Post SANITSUDA EKACHAI 5/27/07 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
The new constitution must recognise the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered, gay rights activists urged yesterday. The equality clause in the draft constitution only endorses equal rights between men and women.
'There should be an additional clause to recognise diverse sexuality, which will help ease the problems of discrimination we are facing,' said Anjana Suvarnanonda, founder of Anjaree, an advocacy group of female homosexuals.
The National Human Rights Commission also supports the move to amend the draft charter so the gay community is accorded the same rights as heterosexuals, said human rights commissioner Khunying Ambhorn Meesook.
