Izinkulungwane zamalungu omphakathi wabesilisa abathandana bodwa, abathandana nezitabane, abathandana nobulili obubili, kanye nabashintsha ubulili (LGBT) abavela eKorea abaxube nezivakashi ezivela e-Asia naphesheya kwezilwandle bebeshaya izitaladi zoMkhosi Wokuzigqaja WaseNingizimu Korea namuhla Zifuna ukulingana okungcono ezweni ngemuva kokuthi iTaiwan ngenyanga edlule izwe lokuqala lase-Asia ukugunyaza umshado wobulili obufanayo.
Ubungqingili abukho emthethweni e-South Korea kodwa iNkantolo Yesifunda SaseSeoul yasichitha isicelo sokuvumela ukushada kwabantu bobulili obufanayo ngo-2016.
Khonamanjalo, ngaphesheya komgwaqo, amakhulu ababhikishi abamelene ne-LGBT, iningi labo abavela emasontweni, babambe umbuthano futhi bacula iziqubulo ezinjengokuthi “Awukho umshado wobulili obufanayo” kanye nokuthi “Ubungqingili buyisono”.
Izitabane, izitabane, abesilisa nabesifazane, nabashintsha ubulili (I-LGBT) abantu ngaphakathi INingizimu Korea babhekane nezinselelo zomthetho kanye nokucwaswa okungatholwa abahlali abangewona ama-LGBT. Ukwenza ucansi kwabesilisa nabesifazane bobulili obufanayo kusemthethweni e-South Korea, kodwa umshado noma ezinye izinhlobo zobudlelwane obusemthethweni azitholakali kozakwethu bobulili obufanayo.
Ubungqingili e-South Korea abushiwongo ngokuqondile kuMthethosisekelo waseNingizimu Korea noma ku-Civil Penal Code. Isigaba 31 of the Umthetho Wekhomishana Yamalungelo Esintu Kazwelonke ithi “akekho umuntu okufanele acwaswe ngenxa yendlela akhetha ngayo ubulili”. Kodwa-ke, i-Article 92 ye-Military Penal Code, okumanje ingaphansi kwenselelo yezomthetho, iveza ubudlelwano bobulili phakathi kwamalungu obulili obufanayo “njengokuhlukumeza ngokocansi”, okujeziswe isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka owodwa ejele. Ikhodi Yesijeziso Sezempi awenzi mehluko phakathi kobugebengu obuvunyelwene nabangavunyelwe futhi ibiza ucansi oluvunyelwene phakathi kwabantu abadala abathandana nobulili obufanayo “njengokudlwengula okuphindaphindiwe” (Hangul)
Kodwa ngo-2010 inkantolo yezempi yakhipha isinqumo sokuthi lo mthetho awukho emthethweni, yathi ubutabane yindaba yomuntu siqu. Lesi sinqumo sadluliselwa eNkantolo Yomthetho-sisekelo yaseNingizimu Korea, engakenzi isinqumo.
Abantu abashintshe ubulili bavunyelwe ukuhlinzwa ukuze banikezwe ubulili eSouth Korea ngemva kweminyaka engu-20, futhi bangashintsha imininingwane yabo yobulili emibhalweni esemthethweni. U-Harisu ungumthokozisi wokuqala we-transgender waseNingizimu Korea, futhi ngo-2002 waba kuphela umuntu wesibili eNingizimu Korea ukushintsha ngokomthetho ubulili.
Ukuqwashisa ngokujwayelekile ngobungqingili kwahlala kuphansi phakathi komphakathi waseKorea kuze kube muva nje, ngokuqwashisa okwengeziwe kanye nenkulumompikiswano eza odabeni, kanye nokuzijabulisa okunezihloko eziwungqingili emithonjeni yezindaba kanye nezibalo ezibonakalayo nosaziwayo, abafana noHong Seok-cheon, bephumela obala. . Kodwa abantu baseKorea abangqingili nabesifazane basabhekene nobunzima ekhaya nasemsebenzini, futhi abaningi bancamela ukungazidaluli emndenini wabo, kubangani noma kosebenza nabo.
Kodwa-ke, ukuqwashisa ngezinkinga ezibhekene ne-LGBT South Koreans kuye kwakhula kancane kancane, futhi izinhlolovo zibonise ukuthi iningi eliqinile labantu baseNingizimu Korea lisekela imithetho evikela abantu be-LGBT ekubandlululweni, okuhlanganisa nokuqashwa, izindlu kanye nezindawo zokuhlala zomphakathi.
Ngo-Agasti 2017, Inkantolo Ephakeme yayala uHulumeni ukuthi avumele "Ngaphandle Kothingo", isisekelo samalungelo e-LGBT, ukuthi abhalise njengenhlangano esiza abantulayo Nomnyango Wezobulungisa. Ngaphandle kokubhaliswa okusemthethweni, isisekelo asikwazanga ukuthola iminikelo edonswa intela futhi sisebenze ngokuthobela umthetho ngokugcwele.
Ukwengeza, uHulumeni waseNingizimu Korea uvotele ukuvumelana nesinqumo seNhlangano Yezizwe ka-2014 esihloselwe ukunqoba ukucwaswa kwabantu be-LGBT.
