No Room For Gay Community - Indonesia by petmax2020: 6:07pm On Aug 11, 2016
Indonesia on Thursday said there was "no room" for the gay community in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, as activists blasted officials for an unprecedented series of LGBT attacks.

A wave of angry rhetoric directed at homosexuals earlier this year - including a call to ban them from university campuses - was the first time senior officials had publicly attacked the Southeast Asian nation's gay community, Human Rights Watch said in a report released Thursday.

Indonesia's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) citizens have long been targeted by vigilante Islamist groups.
