In Sep. and Nov. 2020, two partial amendments to the Framework Act on Healthy Families were proposed to the 21st National Assembly.477) These amendments include changes to the name of the law to the “Framework Act on Family Policy,” and deletion of the concepts of “family” and “healthy family” from the law. The purpose of the amendment to the Act is to prevent discrimination and prejudice against diverse families and to strengthen support, and amendments to the Act with a similar purpose have been steadily proposed since the 17th National Assembly. Discussions on the need to revise the Basic Act on Healthy Homes with the same purpose as the above amendment have been going on since 2005, when the same law was enacted, but it seems that the social controversy has increased in 2022. In Dec. 2021 and Jul. 2022, the NHRCK has reviewed and resolved on the revision of the Act to accommodate various family types and the changes in perception of families and to prevent prejudice and discrimination against LGBTI people, and has recommended to establish a system that can encompass various types of families.478) On the other hand, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has expressed its position that it is necessary to revise the Framework Act on Healthy Families to respond to various ways of forming families and lifestyles through the 4th Basic Plan for Healthy Families in 2021,479) but in Sep. 2022, it changed its position and said, “it is necessary to maintain the provisions for the concept of ‘family’ in the current Act in order to increase the actual support rather than a wasteful debate about legal justice.”480) As the resolution of the NHRCK and the change in the position of the Ministry became known, the reactions of civic groups were mixed. Some asserted that the National Assembly should promptly prepare a law to guarantee the right to establish a family for LGBTI people 477) Co-Sponsored by 16 representatives, including Rep.
