Incheon Queer Festival will be held this weekend...Opposition rally will also be held.

This weekend, a rally against the Incheon Queer Festival will be held around Bupyeong Station in Incheon, and the road will be closed.

The Incheon Queer Festival will be held near Bupyeong Station from 1:20 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the 2nd of next month, and groups opposing the Queer Festival are also planning a rally near Bupyeong Station on the same day.

As a result, the control of Bupyeong-daero will begin around 6 a.m. that day, and since then, 3,400 people will participate in marches in Bupyeong-daero and Gyeongwon-daero by 5 p.m., which is expected to cause road congestion.

Police said they plan to manage traffic by deploying more than 130 traffic police officers to the scene to induce vehicle detours, and asked them to use public transportation if possible.

The Queer Culture Festival is an event that promotes the human rights and sexual diversity of LGBTQ+ people and has been held every year in various parts of Korea since it was first held in Seoul in 2000.
