US Condemns Indonesian Anti-lgbt Statements by petmax2020: 7:03pm On Aug 12, 2016
The United States criticized Indonesia on Thursday for saying there is "no room" for the gay community in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.

"We encourage Indonesia, which rightly prides itself on diversity and tolerance, to respect and uphold international rights and standards by ensuring equal rights and protections for all of its citizens," State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told reporters.

Earlier on Thursday, Indonesian presidential spokesman Johan Budi told AFP that "rights of citizens like going to school and getting an ID card are protected, but there is no room in Indonesia for the proliferation of the LGBT movement."

He was responding to criticism that officials recently unleashed a wave of angry rhetoric against Indonesia's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.

Washington is "closely monitoring reports of possible measures in Indonesia that would restrict the freedom of expression for LGBTI individuals," Trudeau said.
