LGBTI are very easily subjected to hatred or discrimination, especially in some religious and conservative groups; however, it is difficult to find any active measures at the government level to mitigate discrimination against LGBTI, although reasons such as “social consensus” or problems in the private sector are presented. The rainbow index422) is sometimes presented as an indicator of the level of LGBTI human rights in Korea. The rainbow index indicates the level of guaranteeing the human rights of LGBTI, and the closer it is to 0%, the more serious human rights violations and discrimination exist, and the closer it is to 100%, the more perfect equality it is. As of Jun. 2022, Korea's rainbow index is 10.56%,423) ranking 45th out of 50 countries, and in light of the economic level and the level of guaranteeing human rights in other fields, human rights of LGBTI people in Korea seem to be an area that urgently needs improvement. This report will review the main topics related to LGBTI and their significance in 2022, including ‘changes in the Supreme Court precedents and the challenges regarding Article 92-6 of the Military Criminal Act,’ ‘discriminatory administration related to LGBTI, including queer cultural festivals,’ and ‘discussion on gender recognition standards for transgenders.’ 422) The European branch of the International LGBTI Alliance calculates the index of each country through the ‘ILGA-Europe Rainbow Index’ every year. Korea’s rainbow index is an indicator calculated using this framework, and is meaningful in that it can infer the level of human rights protection for LGBTI people in Korea. 423) SOGI Law and Policy Research, Korea’s LGBTI Human Rights Status 2020/2021. 181
