Abstract

While there are no specific laws that discriminate based on sexuality, same-sex marriages are not legally recognized. There is an LGBTQ subculture in larger cities but LGBTQ relationships are not typically openly displayed in public. It is important to note that platonic displays of affection between same-sex friends is very common in Korea.
