While the Bar Council has defended the Merdeka Sexuality Festival, Ambiga Sreenevasan has supported it and the country's number two cop had announced that it has been banned, many of us do not really know how difficult and how bad is it to be a LGBT.
Islam prohibits this kind of relationship between people of the same sex. However Islam does deal with individuals who face this kind problem in determining their gender. The point is Islam tackles the issue at its bud. Unfortunately the authorities have not really put a serious effort in solving the issues. But this is typical of the Umno-BN government; they never really resolve any issues

A belated Selamat Hari Raya Eid-al Adha to all.
Thanks for posting this. A really shocking article, sometimes I think Malaysia has gone crazy. First there is the de facto 'apartheid' style laws embodied in their Bumiputra legislation and now this. How the hell can being LGBT be a choice? This was the country that tried to stop non Muslims referring to God as Allah. Apart from being one of the the most unislamic things they could possibly have done it is mind boggling in its stupidity.
For better or worse in Indonesia at least the madness is mainly confined to Aceh but as for Malaysia the whole country appears in prey to it.
Merdeka! Always :)
