Much of the traditional discussion of equality deals with individuals and group that is predicated on the assumption of a culturally homogeneous society. It helps in dealing with intercultural equality or with equality between individuals belonging to different cultures. Equality is related with the meaning of LGBTQ that requires equal treatment of those who are equal in relevant respects. What respects are relevant, what responses they deserve, and what constitutes equal treatment cannot be determined in transcultural or culturally neutral terms. This is equally true of such other ideas as equal opportunity, equality before the law, and equal liberty. They all require cultural translation and a sensitive search for cultural equivalence in the multi-cultural society. This paper discusses these and related issues by analysing multi-cultural and queer movie ‘Any Day Now’ and drawing out their lives and voices. (Konkuk University)
