Until the end of this coverage, I will talk a little more with reporter Kwon Ji-yoon of the panda team.



Q. When the law is enacted?



[Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon: Yes, the basic law to realize dignity and equality by eliminating discrimination is the Anti-Discrimination Act.

It is a corporation that applies to all for all. As explained earlier, the anti-discrimination law stipulates that discrimination is not allowed in the field of employment because of gender minority.

Obviously, like Sergeant Byun Hee-soo, we can also prevent forced dismissal for being LGBTQ.]



Q. Why not?



[Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon: That's right.

It has been proposed seven times so far, but it has never been discussed properly.

Last year, it was proposed by barely filling the quorum, but except for the Sim Sang-jung, all of them are proportional representatives.

Since some Protestant organizations are systematically opposed, many local lawmakers agree with the necessity of the law when talking to me, and they agree with the purpose of the law.

So, the seventh bill is also sleeping on the standing committee.]



Q. What is the attitude of the government?



[Reporter Kwon Ji-yoon: That's right. Minorities and human rights groups had that expectation because the government advocated for human rights organizations. However, as you saw in the government's response to the case of Sgt. Byun Hee-soo, the government is being criticized for promoting hatred. The government and the National Assembly are saying that social consensus comes first before enacting the anti-discrimination law, but the government should answer this question sooner or later to this question, is it a majority vote or consensus issue for people who already exist in various forms, and human rights protection for them now.]
