The 24th Seoul Queer Culture Festival was held in the Euljiro 2(i)-ga area in the Jung District of Seoul, as the city’s metropolitan government disallowed the use of Seoul Plaza. No obstacle including the heat, hatred, and exclusion could stop love. Despite the local government siding with homophobia, Kim Kyu-jin remained hopeful at the fact that the Pride parade continued on without letting itself be cut off.
