Sexual acts between soldiers can be punished with up to two years in prison.
This week, South Korea was urged to repeal the sodomy law and Graeme Reid of HRW said that ‘South Korea’s military sodomy law is a blight on the country’s human rights record and multiple human rights bodies have called for its abolition’. Two years of military service is compulsory for all able-bodied South Korean men, and the sodomy law punishes servicemen for ‘disgraceful conduct’ and prosecutors can apply it even if such sexual acts took place outside military facilities.
While homosexuality is legal in South Korea, conservative attitudes, not least among Christian groups and sects, many LGBT Koreans feel forced to remain ‘in the closet’. In addition, South Korea has no anti-discrimination legislation in place to protect its LGBT citizens and unlike recent forward thinking initiatives in Thailand and Taiwan, South Korea’s politicians have yet to grasp the socio-economic value offered by legalising same-sex marriage or civil partnerships.

Looking for a boyfriend, possibly a life partner. Applications welcome. I'm someone who believes in clearly expressing your charm. I know what I want. I enjoy mornings that start with espresso and conversations with substance. I'm looking for an ambitious and kind man, confident but not arrogant, witty but not one who turns every date into an open mic night. But at least Wi-Fi, mature in all aspects of relationships, and able to cook a real meal. I'm not looking for perfection—just honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to eat. In return, I offer loyalty, a humor, and genuine listening skills—plus someone who actually reads your messages, not just the first line. Serious applicants only. Passion is required. Tax returns are not mandatory.
