Most people do not care, except for the keyboard warriors and Christians.
Ugh, that’s rough:
>While younger South Koreans have historically been more supportive of LGBTQ+ rights, the generational divide is showing unexpected shifts. **The latest Gallup Korea poll revealed that support for same-sex marriage among people in their 20s dropped by 15 % between 2023 and 2025.** At the same time, support among those over 70 nearly doubled, from 10 % to 19 %.
>“Far-right mobilization earlier this year, combined with heightened political tension and **increased online radicalization among young men**, likely influenced the shift [against legalizing same-sex marriage],” she noted.
>Park Dae-seung, a political philosopher at Seoul National University and director of the Institute for Inequality and Citizenship in Seoul: “Constitutional democracies are designed to protect minority rights, even when those rights are unpopular. Laws that affirm dignity and equality are rarely embraced by a majority at first. But they send a powerful social signal. They tell people what is ‘normal’. In other words, it’s the law that decides for them what’s acceptable.”
