Gay "Marriage"
I brought up this topic today in my class of Korean university students. Out of 25 students, 17 were in favor, 7 opposed, and 1 undecided.
The results of this admittedly unscientific poll at least indicate that Korea has come, or I should say gone, a long way from where it was when I arrived in 1997 and a commonly-held belief was that "gays" did not exist in conservative and Confucian Korea but were a Western phenomenon.
The Culture War, it seems, is not confined to the West.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
