Today (20th), the National Assembly held a debate on anti-discrimination laws initiated three weeks ago.

Opponents are mainly talking about overseas cases and are arguing that if the law is enacted, homosexuals will increase.

[Promotional video against anti-discrimination law: The anti-discrimination law forces homosexual advocacy and encouragement education in schools. Britain has found that over the past decade, more than 2,500% of youths whose gender identity is transgender have increased... .] What you

saw earlier is a promotional video of the opponents of the Anti-Discrimination Act.

"The law enormously increases the number of adolescents who perceive it as different from their physical and sexual characteristics," he said.

He claimed that the 2010 Equality Act was a real example of the UK being introduced, but I asked the British Embassy in Seoul if it was true.

The British embassy once said that such statistics do not exist.

In fact, the number of transgenders whose teams changed their legal gender was also directly checked in British government statistics.

After the law went into effect, the proportion of gays in the UK increased explosively. There are also claims like this.

The British Embassy replied that there was no explosive increase to 1.6% in 2014, when statistics were first created, and 2.2% in 2018, four years later.

Some argue that education for homosexual advocacy has become mandatory since the introduction of the Equality Act, but the British Embassy said it was not true.

It is also claimed in Ontario, Canada, that laws against parental custody have arisen when children oppose their child's sexual orientation.

But the state official said it was different.

When I saw the law in person, it was said that child protection agencies could be involved in cases of serious sexual and emotional abuse without specific mention of sexual orientation.
