Indonesian mayor: LGBT caused by baby formula, instant food
Quote:
The mayor of the Indonesian city of Tangerang has said milk formula and instant noodles could make babies gay.
Arief R Wismansyah made the comments at a city-run pregnancy seminar on Tuesday (24 February).
‘To create Indonesian children that are healthy smart and competitive, the most important thing is, from the beginning, to provide them adequate nutrition, especially breastfeeding,’ he was quoted as saying by Coconuts Jakarta.
Wismansyah said nowadays parents were so busy that they often only fed their children formula and instant foods, which could have a permanent negative effect on their child’s development.
‘So, it’s no wonder that recently there are more LGBT,’ he said.
Wismansyah’s claim is the most recent in a spate of anti-gay rhetoric in the Southeast Asian country.
‘To create Indonesian children that are healthy smart and competitive, the most important thing is, from the beginning, to provide them adequate nutrition, especially breastfeeding,’ he was quoted as saying by Coconuts Jakarta.
