SEOUL, July 1 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands attended South Korea's largest annual LGBT festival on Saturday, vowing to continue fighting for gay rights after the Seoul city government denied them a prime spot and gave it to an anti-LGBT Christian group. "You can see a lot of hateful banners behind me as well as those that support us on our right," said Yang Sun-woo, chief organiser of the Seoul Queer Culture Festival. "South Korea is enjoying a rise in global status but LGBT rights here are at rock bottom," she said. The Christian group CTS, which has vocally opposed homosexuality, said it was not trying to thwart LGBT people. "Some ask why we need this queer festival, but it is the only time a year where we can all enjoy ourselves out in the open."

☆ Seoul's LGBT festival blocked by Christian concert outside city hall, organisers say

SEOUL, May 4 (Reuters) - Seoul's city government has effectively blocked South Korea’s largest annual LGBT festival from taking place outside city hall this year after granting a permit for a Christian youth concert instead, the LGBT event’s organisers said this week. Yang Sun-woo, chief organiser of the Seoul Queer Culture Festival, said the city's move is an act of discrimination. A concert for young people will take place outside the city hall on that day instead. A representative for the CTS Cultural Foundation said that the timing was not aimed at blocking the LGBT festival. The Seoul city government did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
