Homophobia in Yogyakarta, an unfinished story

Link
6/1/2008

"At least three acts of homophobia took place in one nightclub in Yogyakarta city in the last two years.

First, a waria (or, in its oversimplified translation, ->-bleeped-<-) was dragged out by the club's security after she danced on stage. Second, two lesbians were removed from the dance floor after they embraced. Third, an HIV/AIDS organization was about to hold a rehearsal for an AIDS Day event, but was told to leave after it became apparent to the club manager that there would be "men wearing high-heels" involved."
