In Seoul, South Korea, LGBT protesters refused to leave City Hall, after the government dropped plans for a charter which would have banned discrimination based on sexual orientation.

From the article:

The Seoul Metropolitan Government had been due to enact a charter next week, on December 10 – Human Rights Day – which included the right “not to be discriminated against based on his or her sexual orientation or sexual identity."

1. ahhh...the lovely feeling of ...deja vu

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

2. I hope they prevail. It's a shame people have to fight so hard jfor something

that is their right. I know they won't give up and I hope they get support from all over the world.
