SEOUL: Tens of thousands attended South Korea’s largest annual LGBT festival on Saturday, vowing to continue fighting for gay rights after the Seoul city government denied them a prime location and gave it to an anti-LGBT Christian group.
The Seoul Queer Culture Festival, staged outside city hall in the capital annually since 2015, except for two years during Covid-19, was instead held nearby after the city government in May gave the permit for a Christian youth concert to be held at the prime spot.
