context_page_description: Daegu Queer Culture Festival or Daegu Queer Festival is an annual modern Korean festival, whose theme is LGBT rights. It includes a pride parade and film festival events. The festival lasts for a week or two, and usually takes place in late June. The event has been held every year since 2009 and has faced opposition from religious groups. Opposition by religious groups has prohibited the Daegu Queer Culture Festival from being held on an outdoor stage on a popular street that is typically utilized for other festivities in Daegu. It is estimated that about 28 religious and right-wing groups have formed a “gay issue countermeasure committee” in Daegu to block the commencement of events that serve the LGBT community. These groups believe that article 11 of South Korea’s constitution, which states that "discrimination in political, economic, social or cultural life on account of sex, religion or social status "does not apply to same-sex marriages. The organizer of the Korea Queer Culture festival states that South Korea condones public homosexuality due to its conservative background.
