Reading List: Homosexuality in the News in 50s and 60s Korea

Chingusai has posted a great newsletter on homosexuality in Korea in the 1950s and 1960s, a period where little has been written in English on same-sex attraction in Korea. The article is divided into five sections, which explore the ways homosexuality was portrayed the news. The titles of each section give a taste of the article, but unfortunately, an article of this length will take me an ungodly amount of time to translate. I will aim to translate it section by section, post the translations and add hyperlinks below.
Donga Ilbo: Scandalous Murder Case Involving Those of the Same Sex 


1. Homosexuality: "Mental Disease", "Special Environment", "Sexual Murder"

2. Determination of Minority-ness and Normalization of Masculinity

3. Not Sex but Lover's Suicide: Homosexuality Buried in What Appears to be Abnormal Dating

4. Taboo: the State and Disappearing People

5. Dating Until Dating Could Be

Note, I am a very slow translator... I'll aim to get one section done each week. ㅋㅋ
