The hashtag in the first post is #Anti-Discrimination Law. The Anti-Discrimination Act stipulates that no one shall be discriminated once morest for any reason, including gender, disability, sexual orientation, etc. Since it was first proposed in 2007, there have been several attempts to legislate over the past 15 years, but they have been frustrated every time because of the need for social consensus. Today (28th), a transgender broadcaster, Mr. Harisu, visited the National Assembly and demanded the prompt legislation of the Anti-Discrimination Act. At this event, she also talked regarding ‘the discrimination I experienced on TV as the first transgender entertainer’. Previously, Mr. Ha asked for an interview with the Democratic Party’s Joint Emergency Response Committee Chairman Yun Ho-jung and Park Ji-hyeon, floor leader Park Hong-geun, People’s Strength Representative Lee Jun-seok and floor leader Kwon Seong-dong.
