Ok, so I did hint at posting something more serious than just bad puns, I've had this article saved for a while but never got around to posting it.
North Korea's only openly gay defector: 'it's a weird life'
Not only is it super interesting in its own right, but it also opens up a very interesting parallel with historical people being described as "gay". I.e. imposing a label on someone for whom the concept of being homosexual didn't really exist (or was as clearly defined).
Adding to that there is the flight from oppression in North Korea just to find another form of oppression in South Korea.
I don't think there is a single thing about this that I don't find interesting, too bad his book isn't available in English yet.
