This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Joe Phillips. They speak about the landscape of LGBTQ rights in South Korea, the absence of legal protections for this community, the cultural atmosphere of intolerance and indifference that traditionally has existed in the country towards sexual minorities, the emerging presence of pro-rights movements despite this social and cultural climate, the lack of real political representation for the LGBTQ community, the legal rulings that have affected the realization of full LGBTQ rights, the resistance and counter-activism of evangelical communities, the indicators of demographic change, how the military deals with questions of LGBTQ soldiers, the role and reach of religious schools and universities, and the possible future of LGBTQ rights in South Korea.
