April 27th update: All 13 South Korean LGBT activists have been released from police but the fight continues. Homophobic comments are rampant in nearly all of the news articles, many are blaming these activists for protesting ‘unlawfully’, and there are even false news circulating that these activists were violent. 

The reason why these activists went after Jae-In Moon, presidential candidate of Liberal Party, was because 1) he is the presidential candidate with the most amount of support, 2) he is a former human rights lawyer so his statement that he ‘opposes homosexuality’ was very disappointing, and 3) all other candidates are publicly saying that they will ‘ban homosexuality’. The only candidate who has stated full support for marginalized group, including LGBT people, is Sang-Jung Sim of Justice Party.
