Love is in the air~
Edit: Evidently these photos were taken by the South Korean army across the DMZ. There was some sort of kerfuffle about this in South Korean media because homosexuality is forbidden and punished with jail time in the South Korean military, but it's totally permitted in the DPRK.
Another thing with North Korea is it's likely more difficult to get accurate information on it than any other country, so there's a lot of grey area, but from what I've gathered there's definitely still a good amount of prejudice. I kind of agree with you but then again in Russia LGBTQ people at least have platforms like the global internet to have a community and learn about themselves, whereas LGBTQ North Koreans probably feel even more invisible and confused, despite there probably being less prejudice (probably due to sexuality not really being discussed much at all).
