LGBT Rights Activists Chant 'We are Here' at Incheon Rally Following Standoff with Protesters
  • 6 years ago
LGBT rights activists, who gathered for a pride event in Incheon on Saturday, September 8, repeatedly chanted “We are here” before the event broke up, after a day that involved a standoff with religious counter-protesters.These videos were uploaded by a person who attended the Incheon Queer Culture Festival and reported that the event was due to start at 11 am, but that counter protesters had arrived the night before to occupy the space that had been permitted for use by the festival organizers. As a result, police blocked others from entering the area and a planned parade was delayed from 4 pm to around 7:30 pm.The parade was later cut short, the uploader said, but activists remained at the location until around 9:30 pm, as confirmed by this video and other social media posts.
