      Bs response. “Human rights” doesn’t play both sides when one is an oppressor.

    2. Someone in the pic has a poster that say

      “에이즈 치료비, 국민 100%

      세금 폭탄“

      How stupid are these people? Lmao

      >“The commission plans to operate a booth at the queer festival and organize a human-rights monitoring team to respond to hate speech and prevent physical clashes related to both events,” said Ahn. “People should refrain from making baseless accusations or spreading false information that could incite hatred or humiliation toward others during the Seoul Queer Culture Festival and the Holy Breakwater of Unified Christian Rally.”

      These are just empty words from Ahn Chang-ho, the chair of the National Human Rights Commission and a devout Protestant.

      In reality, he is against the enactment of a comprehensive anti-discrimination bill and the recognition of legal rights for queer people.

      What a tool.

    4. installed by Yoon. Dude said some batshit crazy stuff equating homosexuality with communism. Yoon chose the worst guy ppssible for the job.

      Idiotic move by the Yoon-installed bigoted commissioner. The guy who publicly stated that an anti-discrimination law would lead to communism and AIDS outbreak. 

      The commissioner’s term ends next year, but I wonder if there’s a way to get him off the post faster…

    6. Why would…?
      I mean, I get not wanting violence to happen, but that can be done by attending the Queer rally and discouraging participants from actively triggering the other side (‘actively’ because the other side will passively be triggered anyway) and protecting the participants from incoming attacks.

      If that’s the case then they should petition to the govt to get AB plastic surgery closed for frauding and destroying trans foreigners faces.
