DonInRyun (Solidarity for LGBT Human Rights of Korea) started as LGBT Association of Korean Universities in 1997 and has changed its name to the current organization, DonInRyun in 1998, and since then our organization has been one of the leading representative LGBT groups in Korea. Many gender diversities, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/ transsexual, and intersexual have come together to develop a society which respects the human rights of minorities. Any heterosexuals who are in favor of minorities' human rights are able to join our activism on equal terms. Since diversity is valued, all our members are endeavoring to enhance the awareness of human rights of everyone so as to avoid any unintended-discriminations against other members, based on disease, education, age, gender, and sexuality. These are the ten principles of the organization: 1. We, as a human rights organization representing the rights of sexual minorities who are mostly discriminated and marginalized within the power structure of Korean society, endeavor to retrieve the human rights of those who have been treated unequally based on gender and sexual identity. 2. We recognize that sexual minorities living in the Korean society are suffering from unjust and unreasonable oppression and want to counteract the efforts to deny the human rights of the sexual minorities. 3. We actively express solidarity with social minorities, such as the common laborer, women, migrant worker, the disabled, PLWHA, refugee, children, youth, and the poor who are not free of discrimination and oppression, and try to develop an equal society where everyone respects human rights and diversity. 4. We strive to abolish discriminatory elements like social status/position, age, and sex (gender). 5. We make efforts to communicate with sexual minorities across the world by strengthening solidarity between other human rights groups/organizations, including international solidarity. 6. We endeavor to get rid of all discrimination by sex (gender), social class (stratification), and any isolation of LGBT community. 7. We perform actions together with heterosexuals on equal terms who are in favor of sexual minorities' human rights. 8. We fully support individual's coming-out and respect his/her opinion about the coming-out process. 9. We advocate for producing a diversity of sexual minorities' culture. 10. We respect individual's sexual autonomy.
