Restarting my article translations but I found this discussion going on. I thought I'd post it as many people have asked me questions on sexuality in Korea

 

Out of your close colleagues, friends, and family, are any of them gay, lesbian, or transgender?

OP: "Korea is at the lowest with 4%. It isn't because we don't have any (of these people) in our community (surroundings) but just that we don't know (who they are). Those people must be living hiding it...."

 

Some comments:

(those answer yes/no are saying if they know someone or not)

 

-"There's no other option.. If LGBT people are found out, they're dead."

-I would have confidently answered "yes"

-How bitter.

-We're really that low?

-Yes. 

-I honestly have no clue...Because we don't talk about it where I live

-They have to hide it I guess, especially in our country

-Yes

-I know someone.. although I'm the only one they've toldã…‹ã…‹

-If someone confessed to me I'd be really thankful..

-Yes

-There's a difference between the East and the West.. It must be hard for those people..Prejudice and bitterness

-I know someone!!!!!!

-I can't tell anyone about me, I feel it's too prejudice.

-I know someone but... they are keeping it a secret for the rest of their lives..

-I guess coming out seems a taboo subject in our society..

-No

-I'm bisexual ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

-Yes

-My younger sibling is a lesbian

-There is someone

-I know a few people!

-Hul...??

-I'm bisexual too...

-I would feel happy if someone trusted me and told me and I would support them

-I know someone who is bisexual

-I'm bisexual~ =ã……=

-There are so many bisexual people where I live :)

-Yes! I know loads! And myself am pansexual.

-Mm, my friend told me and I am thankful. I didn't know how she would think I would react but she was glad I reacted positively.

-I'm a lesbian

-? What.. There are loads of LGBT people

-Wow, it's really that low...I wish people where I am from would not feel pressured to keep it inside..

-There are more than you think ;)

-Hul...our country....

-I'm bisexual and my best friend is lesbian. We're actually dating right now ã…‹ã…‹

-Mm, my friend is gay and it didn't change anything, he's still my friend!

-That's right, they feel they have no choice but to keep it inside...
