i also honestly hate looking like a chink, it's really bad, honey!
As is often the fact, a group of young guys who cannot accept their own sexuality. So they bully or attack their peers to take away focus on their sexuality problems and make themselves seem more cool.
The photo on this article SCREAMS closet cases. On the left, "I can't accept who I am". In the middle, "I am so in love with my friend but how do I tell him??" and on the right..."Did McDonald's just release a new Big Mac??" :P
"Religion is not inherently evil, people are. We all have opinions." So when the teachings of religion explicitly say it is okay to kill other people in the name of religion, it's not evil?
"The irony here is under the days of the old Soeharto regime is that minority groups like the LGBTQI community enjoyed greater personal freedoms to be themselves and more likely to be not interfered with, then they currently do under the auspices of living in a "liberalised" democracy."
Really? I live in Indonesia all my life and I don't perceive any greater freedom under the Soeharto regime. But media enjoys much more freedom now; maybe that's why we read more about persecutions and discriminations done to minorities. These things happened in the "Orde Baru" as well.
There is still hope… from what I understand, the ruling political party in Indonesia does not back this suggestion yet.
There are four other parliament parties suggesting this… I do hope the government party puts this suggestion where it belongs - into the waste basket.
You have a good point iburakus. My problem with aid money is a good deal of it is "siphoned" off by devious individuals and never gets to the problem, nor do these creeps get convicted for stealing. I agree with you on stepping up education and awareness programs.
The irony here is under the days of the old Soeharto regime is that minority groups like the LGBTQI community enjoyed greater personal freedoms to be themselves and more likely to be not interfered with, then they currently do under the auspices of living in a "liberalised" democracy. The religious nutters have found a greater voice through the parliamentary system and as far as money is concerned a lot of that flows into Indonesia from Suadi Arabia where the extreme form of the Muslim faith care of the Wahabis/Sulfis agenda is to influence the political system and the educational system in Indonesia to more reflect their extreme and backward world views.
We should not be running away and taking our money with us but engaging more and providing more aid for education and the political system. It is the absence of western aid money that has created a vacuum that has been replaced by the Suadi Arab influence!
The only way these entrenched religious space cadets are going to get the message is through stopping/reducing the flow of money and pressure from the people, governments, and organizations.
They need to be removed from power and sent to a "conversion therapy camp". Wouldn't that be humorous! The look on their faces would make me LMAO!
They better have a VERY large school for the classes, since there are millions of gay in Indonesia, In fact there are 100's of millions of gay Muslims in this world. It is time for them to adapt to the REAL world.
i think that if the event just for dancing and music, then you are not realistic
there must be diversity events because people came to Bangkok/Thailand was not for one day only in majority.
its look like you make generalitization that all gays just for dancing
as i met gay from europe.
Here there must be facilitator for many purpose of visit.
if you see realistic and deep understanding, the events is not for solely dancing.
but thankful event that why you gay should give honor, and giving to society. be aware
two things in her son's letter that were very painful for mum
"mum, I wish I died the day I was born so that I didn't create all the social issues for you."
"Had I been born a disable child you would have loved and protected me every day, but because I was born gay you could have never forgiven for that"
Yeah Singapore is always on top as usual. Keep up the great work. By the way I read something very interesting about men health https://www.dtapclinic.com/mens-health/ and wanted to share. Hope it will help. Cheers!
Baby Steps....Baby Steps. Open-mindedness is something that doesn't come easy in a traditional society. Kudos to the people of Vietnam for trying to make a difference in their future for the LGBT community!!!!
Visas: la justice hongkongaise donne raison à un couple de lesbiennes

I don't see a problem here as only the upper torsos of both men were showing so there is no nudity involved and it was only "implied" sex. But it was gay so they want to probably make an example of the two by drawing it out into the public by fining and imprisoning these guys to show how perverted same-sex couples act. If this had happened to a heterosexual couple it wouldn't go any farther more than likely.
