but yeah, unfortunately Indonesia is going more islamic over the years and those little support that LGBT members had are being more in danger from those radicals and conservatives muslims there

The providence this happened in is 64% Protestant and one of the main non-Islamic majority areas of Indonesia.

The fact that they might go to jail for posting a picture of themselves cuddling

They're not hurting anyone.

Disgusting.

Salacious

Indonesia is really heading down a horrible path. The country is becoming too religiously strict. I wish they would abolish Islam.

We're actually not that super strict compared to other Muslim majority countries. I think we are the closest to being secular/liberal on par with Turkey. You can find LGBT communities in big cities it's just we're not open about it and the extremists like to make headlines out of everything.

I know, I watched plenty of documentries, videos and other people who live there say how life is there. Recently there are some dangerous groups that want to radicalize Indonesia more, which is very alarming. I hope the good people will fight them and not let these radical right-wing groups take any more of your human rights there, and most importantly, your freedom to speak out against those type of people like Turkey did with Erdogan!
