The identity of sexual minorities is spatial essentially in that it is dependent on certain space. I examines the position that sexual minorities have in Korean society by tracing the process in which certain space is converted into ‘queer space`` through active agents` performance. Unlike gay men which have had their spatial area, it has not been long before lesbians tried to have their communities. The development NGO movement on local community has triggered the demand of regional movement of sexual minority rights groups. By the experience in the 2008 general election, lesbian activists became aware of the significance of Mapo-gu as a queer town where everyday life was lived. The reasons why Mapo-gu has become a queer region are as follows. First, because Mapo was convenient for transportation and near to downtown, lesbian women who had low income have stayed here. Second, an atmosphere of freedom around Hong-Ik University, so-called ‘the yearning for Hong-Dae,`` has been also important for lesbian couples to move into Mapo area. This factor has facilitated strong networks among queer residents. ‘Union of Mapo Rainbow Residents(UMRR)’ has launched in these background. UMRR tried to strengthen a network of queers in Mapo and visualized the existence of queer. Their movement has called attention to the symbolism of Mapo as a queer area. Local movement of sexual minorities in Mapo district is a good example in which the identity of sexual minorities becomes visible by inter-relationship with space.
