Well, he’s a frightened old man that would piss his pants at his own shadow. Nothing he says is based in reality.
Fellas, is getting an education gay?
(no but fr, what is gay education supposed to be? I live in the Netherlands, arguably the queerest country in the world, and we don’t even have such a thing 😜)
We saw it today and got shocked that this is even allowed to be promoted in Korea.
Dude is probably secretly gay himself but just too scared to accept it, otherwise, it can’t be explained why it’s so important for him to talk about being queer, etc.

Context: he is a conservative Korean politician who wants to stop schools from pushing LGBTQIA+ agendas.
Homophobic fearmongering. Not surprising at all. He is a PPP politician who had to drop his party membership for the education chief election because its nonpartisan requirement.

OP’s username checks out
All right wing psyops start with amygdala hijack with emotions of fear and disgust of the “other”. This is for voter brainwash only, not real policy.
When they get in office it’s corruption and money money money.
The answer is demagoguery.
Put Christianity in schools?
right-wing nonsense essentially saying that schools are trying to turn kids gay
It’s exactly as it sounds. South Korea is a relatively conservative society when it comes to sexuality, so even among progressives, homosexuality is accepted but treated like an awkward neighbor, while conservatives view it as evil. That said, as far as I know, there is no movement within South Korea’s left-wing camp to implement queer education, as that banner suggests. This is a classic example of a far-right party trying to gain political advantage by playing on social fears through wordplay.
Well, from the second image it’s only queer gayness. If it’s two manly men going at it, then it sounds like that’s fine with him. Gender roles are a bit more rigid in Korea. /s.
Yesterday, this candidate [claimed that the Joseon Dynasty executed people for homosexual acts](https://www.logosian.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=12102), which is just factually untrue.
And, regardless of whether it’s true or not, it’s wild that he says this while announcing his anti-homosexuality education policy (which has absolutely no substance other than vague homophobic remarks).
“Ŏmma, what’s “queer” and “homosexuality?”
I’d rather have my hypothetical kid learn about LGBT+ identity in a controlled school environment with certified educators rather than from political hate speech banners.
Homophobic jerk. Not getting my vote for sure.
I’m Korean and idk wtf is that mean
He is running in Seoul. The TFR in Seoul is the lowest in the country. It’s below 0.6. This means very few likely voters are parents of school aged children who will be educated under any elected official’s policies. So to win its pointless to have relevant policies thay appeal to parents who actually have school-aged children.
It’s just something I’ve always found a little off about voting for superintendents.
Usually when it has nothing to do with education, it’s about land value or national values. But in this case, yikes. I don’t have anything good to say about his policies. I personally teach my children to respect people’s differences.
My wife and I already talk about leaving when our eldest starts high school. If any of our children are lgbt, no way are we staying here.
Discrimination legislation gets blocked every time because these evangelicals hate gay folk,
I bet a look at their internet history would be interesting.
