Explore stories from Atlantic Canada.

SEOUL - The annual Seoul Queer Culture Festival was held in the South Korean capital on Saturday despite previous issues in securing a venue and protests against the LGBT community's pride celebrations.

"We're going to do it anywhere where we can do pride because the main thing is to convey the message that we're everywhere," Yang said. "We're going to have a wedding ceremony next year. Usually at weddings, there are a lot of events where you receive blessings, or celebrate religiously. But in our case, we don't even know if our parents will participate... There are times when I'm sad, but I'm really touched to receive this blessing from this queer parade."
