The Rainbow Wants More Colors Overcoming Hate Toward Sexual Minorities and Expanding Human Rights

In March of 2016, the LGBT Studies Research Society of Korea gathered experts from various fields—including education, law, public health, social welfare, sociology, theology, and anthropology—for the goal of publishing a multidisciplinary book on the issues facing sexual minorities. This book is both the result of that meeting and the start of the LGBT Studies Research Society of Korea’s fight for LGBT rights. In this book, 19 authors from a wide range of fields share their knowledge of the various sexual identities and sexual orientations that transcend traditional gender binaries and heterosexualism. They also take aim at the Korean institutions that label sexual minorities as abnormal.
