On October 27, an estimated 1.1 million Christians gathered in Seoul to protest against same-sex marriage, pro-LGBT laws, and a Supreme Court decision providing certain spousal rights to the LGBT community. Organized by a coalition of Christian groups, including the Council of Presbyterian Churches and the United Christian Churches of Korea, the event resonated as one of South Korea’s most substantial religious gatherings in history.
The rally, which adopted the form of a church service, denounced both proposed and recently enacted legal policies perceived as accommodating same-sex relationships and promoting LGBT agendas. Participants criticized these developments as contradictory to natural laws and order and an infringement on freedom of conscience and religion.
Spokespeople for the organizing committee contended that the recent court decision favoring LGBT individuals was unconstitutional since South Korea does not legally recognize same-sex marriage. They further described the situation as a crisis threatening the country’s foundation.
Speakers at the rally, including noteworthy South Korean Christians, raised concerns over a trend of devalued Christian values in the West due to the Sexual Revolution. They urged South Korea to resist following this path, and to be dedicated to preserving Christian principles.
