Mr. Lee, 19 student of the Faculty of Social Convergence and Autonomy, said: “I ask for solidarity and support from all members of the university.

Mr. Lee, who ran for three days starting on the 5th of next month, is elected president of the general student council, he will be elected as the seventh president of the student council in Korea after identifying himself as LGBTQ. In 2017, Seung- mok Baek was elected student council president after revealing that he was LGBTQ.

Mr. Lee, discrimination was like “air.” He said, “Sungkonghoe University is a place where LGBTQ people use the word ‘lover’ instead of ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend,’ but there are only two options for LGBTI people. “” Get out coming out of the closet out of fear or lying pretending not to be LGBTQ. ” Lee, who was not coming out of the closet and was of course considered a ‘non-sexual minority’, confessed: “I suffered the fear and self-denial that I got used to after experiencing dozens of times a day.” He also said that coming out was not just for him, but also to encourage other LGBT people. Last month, transgender activist Kim Ki-hong (38), transgender Byun Hee-soo, former army sergeant, passed away one after another on the 3rd of this month. Mr. Lee said: “I was desperate enough to hurt my body from the ongoing tragedy.

So that even LGBTQ people don’t have To pay attention to the use of the toilet, sinks, toilets and mirrors are installed in each compartment, and a changing table is also placed. When Mr. Lee is elected president of the student council, he intends to install the bathrooms of all through public debate on campus. Including everyone’s restrooms, Mr. Lee made a promise based on human rights and the well-being of students as two pillars. One of the main promises is the establishment of the “Office for the Guarantee of Educational Rights” within the Student Council for smooth communication with schools. An important promise was the ‘Presidents Election System’, which urges all members of the university to participate in the president election process, where students, employees and subcontractors cannot participate. Lee, who wants to speak in favor of the ‘enactment of anti-discrimination law’ if elected, said this at the end of the ‘Exit Statement’. “A word of empathy and consolation for all transgender and LGBT people who may be suffering in the face of numerous tragedies … (Through this presentation) I would like to set a positive example to show that solidarity between LGBTQ and their followers is very strong “.
