South Korea's constitutional court has upheld a law banning same-sex relations in the military, in what activists have called a setback for LGBTQ+ rights. The court said same-sex relationships could harm troops' combat readiness and undermine discipline. Same-sex intercourse between civilians, however, is not a crime. The court, in a five-to-four vote, ruled that article 92-6 of the military criminal act was constitutional. The act does not explicitly refer to same-sex intercourse but bans anal intercourse or any other "indecent" act during service. Activists condemned the ruling, saying it fuels violence and discrimination against gay soldiers.
