A word to Moon Jae-in, the president of ROK

 

You've given an instruction that the governmental officials now should make an effort to enact the anti-discrimination law, right?

 

One of the articles of the law must be that any discrimination based on 'sexual disposition' be prohibited, that he who offends others due to their sexual propensity should indemnify them. The sexual propensity here, of course, must be a word almost exclusively for the homosexuals.

 

If the law is enacted, the mouths of the people who oppose homosexuality, especially those of religious people, will certainly be curbed.

 

Let's assume a similar situation. Suppose that the People's Power Party, a minority opposition party now, is the absolute majority ruling party, that the president is a member of the party, and that the two powers are trying to enact 'an anti-discrimination act that forbids any political criticism' in order to consolidate their conservative dictatorship.

 

Then the Democratic Party of Korea, your party, a party that seeks the right of the weak and minorities, will oppose the law even at cost of life, because your party can't criticize the dictator and his party because of the law, and because anyone belonging to your party must pay heavy indemnity, by which his family can go down, to the People's Power Party or to the members of the party if he criticizes them using names or words that offend them.

 

If the law is enacted, you can't freely criticize some members of the National Assembly who deserve to be criticized. And you can perish if you make any political statement that offends others. Oh, what a predicament for you!

 

Mr. President, is it right to enact such a law because the provision, that no one be discriminated because of his political stance or orientation, looks plausible or good? Is that really for the country and the people?

 

Constitutionally, North Koreans are also citizens of ROK. So, if such a law is enacted, you have to readily open the gate to South Korea to a North Korean who has trained to be a spy in North Korea, when he, openly declaring , "I am a North Korean spy," tries to come into South Korea at the armistice line. And you must accept his application form to NIS, National Intelligence Service, for a job, without any discrimination. If the ROK military stopped the spy at the Military Demarcation Line, they must pay compensation to the spy for the military discriminated against him.

 

Mr. President, am I talking nonsense? The anti-discrimination law promoted by you and your party is as absurd as that! The law is an evil rule that deprives the public of freedom of criticism but grants unlimited freedom to those who are unethical and are destroying good customs.

 

If you politicians are deprived of the freedom of political speech and criticism, you'll never accept it, right? Then, why are you trying to deprive the public of their freedom of speech and criticism about religion, thought, ethics, and morality?

 

Rob also yourselves of the freedom of political speech by adding 'political position' to the law, if you would enact that anti-discrimination law to rob the public of their freedom of thought, publication and speech (about homosexuality).

 

Can't you tell 'what is really good for the country' from 'what looks plausible'? Can't you be more prudent as the president of a nation?

 

I'm not proud of you.
