"South Korean Gay Activists Protest, Sue Government over Website Ban" 

http://www.fridae.com/magazine/en20020110_2_1.php

Gay activists in South Korea have filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the
government, protesting the government's ban on the country's first and
largest gay website. 

Fifteen South Korean gay and lesbian groups have come together to ask a court
in Seoul to repeal the government's ban on the country's first and largest
gay website exzone.com, which is run by the Lesbian and Gay Alliance Against
Discrimination in Korea. 

In November, the owner of the site received a notice stating that if it does
not immediately mark itself as a 'harmful site' and install filtering
software to prevent youth access, he would be penalised with a fine of
approximately US$10,000 or two years' imprisonment. 

Activists have called the ban unconstitutional. Protest leader Im Tae-Hun
said at a press conference, "The government has no right to determine
people's sexual orientation." 

Although home users can still access the site, the government has blocked
access from state and public premises including state offices, cybercafes,
schools and libraries. A government committee for youth protection has
designated the site as "detrimental to the morals of young people." 

"Even if we don't stand a chance of winning the case," Im continued, "we will
take the case to international human rights organisations to call
international attention to this issue." 

On November 1, 2001, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) of
the Republic of Korea (South Korea) formally enacted an Internet content
rating system classifying gay and lesbian websites as "harmful media" and
mandating their blockage--all under the guise of protecting youth.
