Is This Korea?
Eight years ago, when I came to Korea, it was a commonly held belief that there were no gays in Korea. Well, how times have changed: Judge Calls for Legalization of Gay Marriage.
As Serge of A conservative blog for peace reminded us a few days ago, "Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt." As an example of this, once, back in the 20th Century, when I was accosted by two males who were dancing in each other's arms at a night club, a male Korean professor I was with argued that the men, as Koreans, ipso facto could not be gay. A young female Korean instructor with us the time, however, gave the deviants a piece of her mind and almost started a fight. The club's owner asked us to leave.

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.
