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.“
