｜Chapter 4｜ Reactions and Considerations towards Hate Speech stating concerns about hate speech towards sexual minorities in Korean society in 2015. In terms of renting public facilities, the “Seoul Ordinance on the Use and Management of Gwanghwamun Plaza” states that “Citizens should not block the free movement of the public or show acts of disgusts.” These kinds of regulations may block thoughtless hate speech in public areas, and may also block the use of public facilities and public goods for events that are expected to include such behavior. Lastly, state and local governments may provide additional advantages for individuals and organizations with policies related to hate speech and discrimination during the assignment of contracts, the delegation and consignment of office work, and the provision of financial support. On the contrary, they may provide disadvantages to organizations that remain silent or encourage hate speech or discrimination.
