Until 2010 the organizers issued no-photography stickers, ribbons and bands; since then they require registration for all photographers and video recorders and are asking photo-takers to blur participants' faces before publishing pictures online. In 2012 face masks and sunglasses, obscuring participants' features, were reported as common. This is done in order to reduce the chance of accidental outing of participants, who still face significant discrimination in Korean society. In fact anti-gay protesters have been known to take pictures of participants and distribute them in order to embarrass the attendees. |
