Lgbt and Kpop (part 2): Jonghyun’s public support of LGBT In 2013, a bisexual transsexual
Lgbt and Kpop (part 2): Jonghyun’s public support of LGBT In 2013, a bisexual transsexual university student wrote down a message as part of a movement called “안녕들 하십니까? 저는 안녕하지 못합니다.” (How are you? I am not alright)“: Translation of the most impactful parts: Yes, I am a sexual minority. I am a male to female transgender person and I am bisexual. I am a woman. I am of the “880,000 Won” generation. I am a college student. I am one of the inheritors of the working class. What more names can you call me by? There will be no end if you tried to enumerate them one by one. It’s not just me, but probably all of you are living in the present, being called by numerous names. But I am not okay, not at peace at any moment, whichever name I am being called. Today’s Korean society not only can’t enact an anti-discrimination law, but discriminates against sexual minorities on a daily basis, throws rampant unfair criticism and hatred towards females, exploits the young generation, forces college students to be absorbed with employment instead of academics. Which name should I be called in order to be at ease? Someone asked us this: how are you? How am I? Are we all okay with feeling relieved that another’s pain is not my own, with covering our ears and closing our eyes to protect our lives? How can we be okay in a world that censors us?” Jonghyun was so touched that he made the message his Twitter profile page and even personally reached out to the student. -- source link
