Mayor of Seoul Comes Out In Support of Gay Marriage In Korea

It will be interesting to see how this turns out, but I expect eventually gay marriage will become a normal practice in Korea just like it is in the US:

Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon has put himself at the center of controversy after he expressed his support for same-sex marriage during his recent trip to the United States.

Talking to the San Francisco Examiner, Park was quoted as saying, “I personally agree with the rights of homosexuals,” adding Korea would become the first Asian nation to legalize same-sex marriage.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) homepage was immediately inundated with comments, most of them complaints.

Park has successfully drawn public attention, but it remains to be seen whether this bold political gamble will help the potential presidential bid of Park, a liberal-minded former NGO leader.  [Korea Times]

You can read more at the link, but interesting both the religious groups and the gay activists groups are upset Mayor Park’s stance.  The gay activist groups do not think he is doing enough.

Does this mean he is changing the pronunciation of the “Hi Seoul” campaign…

…from “Hī Seoul” to “Hĭ Seoul”.

…in case the Unicode doesn’t come out, that is “Hi Seoul” changed to “His Hole”.

Yes, I just flew in from Dallas…

…and, boy, are my arms tired…

…of wiping away the blood, sweat, tears, and seemen from the leaky African sitting next to me.

He was catching a connecting flight to go somewhere with less risk of catching Ebola… like Nigeria… or any country in the area that understands the benefits of quarantine and travel restrictions.

Just remember, this is the same country that just banned a music video because it contained too many scenese of two girls embracing. The same country that censors and filters the living ____ out of everything. The same country that has volunteers scour the internet for pr0n to block. The same country with ridiculous defamation laws, the same country that makes it illegal to photograph someone in a public setting without their permission. I could go on for ages.

Korea’s still a child in a world of adults. They can’t handle the concept of same sex marriage.

Oh, since you don’t know a thing about Korea Tom, I need to explain something. The word ‘lovers’ is often used by Koreans to mean a romantic relationship between a male and female. Since “the are no gays in Korea”, it can’t be used to refer to gay Koreans at all.

As far as your hate speech goes, that’s no way to talk about the men you (Tom) have sex with damn it! One must remember that it’s ok for Asians, but especially Koreans, to be racist and spread hate as they have proven time and time again…please understand that it is their terrible history (Tom doesn’t share this history) that gives them a free pass. This can never apply to anyone other than Koreans, even if you come from a place that has been invaded more than Korea. For example, Britian a place where thousands of Viking raids took place. Koreans see raids as invasions, so what’s good for the goof…This is why so many Brits hate, and want to kill all Scandinavians!

Besides you Tom, I know Hong Suck Chun will also be happy to hear this latest news. Also Tom, can you blame gay, non Korean folk for liking you, less than well endowed, hairless, smooth, overly feminine Korean guys?

Tom, go to a mirror, make a victory sign, put your nose between your two fingers and tell yourself that that is who your are for real.

It just means you are cool.

“Good news for white faggots in Korea.”

The good news for white faggots in Korea is that “it is like Melbourne in the 70s” according to a gay Australian guy I met. I suppose it is also like San Francisco in the 70s.

Exotic white homosexuals have no problem scoring at Korean gay bars… and exotic white heterosexuals get hit on now and then as well. For the first several years in Korea, I found myself graciously deflecting gay pickups at least once a month… from the hot high-cheekbone twink who cut my hair to some nasty old alcoholic faggot at a pojongmacha who told me he would suck my diick if I went with him into the alley.

Hmmm… yummy. How did I manage to resist his charms?

None-the-less, perhaps gay marriage IS good for all the white faggots in Korea… and the Korean faggots in Korea… because, when it gets down to it, who cares if faggots get married?

Like many things that people do, that is their business and not yours or mine.
