Gay director 鈥榤arries鈥 his partner in South Korea
Print Edition
A PROMINENT gay rights campaigner and movie director “married” his partner in South Korea yesterday, where same-sex marriage is not legally recognized.
Kim Jho Gwang-soo — a rare openly gay celebrity in conservative South Korea — and Kim Seung-hwan held an outdoor ceremony in central Seoul, urging the government to recognize their union.
“Through this ceremony, we will become a married couple, regardless of whether our marriage is legally accepted or not,” Kim told journalists.
“Same-sex marriage is not something shocking in many other countries. I hope South Korea will also join them in the near future,” he added.
Hours before the ceremony between Kim, 48, and his partner, who is 19 years younger, a handful of Christians briefly occupied the site in an attempt to stop the celebration, engaging in shoving matches with the couple’s supporters.
