Korean University: No Jobs for Homosexuals

Korea Nazarene University, a Christian university in Cheonan, South Korea, is telling its job applicants that “drinking, smoking, and homosexuality are not allowed.”

The listing was published on Tuesday and spotted by The Korea Observer, who contacted the university:

Ahn Kwang-jin, a senior official at Korea Nazarene University, told The Korea Observer that his university has a strict policy against drinking, smoking and homosexuality.

“We are letting you know that even if you make an application, you wouldn’t get the job unless you meet the stated requirements,” he said.“

Listen: Parents Disown and Assault Child After He Comes Out As Gay

(Warning: disturbing audio and language used.)

Disturbing video footage of a gay man coming out to his parents was just posted to Reddit with the title “How Not to React when Your Son Tells You that He’s Gay.”

In the video, the parents explain that they will “no longer support him” and ask him to leave. As the video continues, the argument becomes more tense and the parents allegedly hit him and then continue to yell slurs at him.

Reddit user rythymknight posted the video to Reddit saying that the individual in the video is his boyfriend. He also provided some more information about his current status:

“He does have somewhere to stay for now until he gets on his feet. Unfortunately, his car was taken back as well. It seems terrible right now, but I feel confident that he will make it through this and be OK.”

Grandfather Writes Letter To His Daughter After She Kicks Out His Gay Grandson

Your faith in humanity will be restored when you read this letter that a grandfather wrote to his daughter after she kicks out his gay grandson.

From the Huffington Post:

In this incredible letter, a grandfather passionately addresses his daughter’s decision to kick her gay son out of the house after he decided to come out of the closet. Though we don’t have the full details surrounding the incident, the grandfather tells his daughter that “kicking Chad out of your home simply because he told you he was gay is the real ‘abomination’ here. A parent disowning her child is what goes 'against nature.’”
