Falls Sie sich gefragt haben, warum „Keine Ausländer“-Schilder in Korea legal sind …

[The United Christian Churches of Korea (UCCK), a major conservative Protestant group, has started all-out efforts to stop the passage of an anti-discrimination law that was recently proposed again. The anti-discrimination law has been proposed regularly since 2007, but has never passed due to powerful vocal opposition from conservative churches.](https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/08/113_294309.html)

The moves came after Rep. Jang Hye-young of the Justice Party and nine other lawmakers proposed an anti-discrimination bill June 29 designed to prevent discrimination against groups or individuals based on sex, disability, age, race, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion and individual political opinions among others. The bill stipulates that those who do not follow correction orders against discriminatory actions, could be ordered to pay up to 30 million won ($25,281) to spend on implementing corrections to the situation. It is not a fine or penalty.

**Conservative churches have been opposing the passage of an anti-discrimination law for almost two decades, largely because they believe homosexuality violates their religious beliefs.**
