More love from the religious....... In this case the biggest and most moderate Muslim country in the world, Indonesia. Just to the north of Australia.
But as with the christians the religion has far out zealot fundamentalists who have likened gay stuff on the internet as worthy of banning just like the terrorist sites. So now they've gone on a mission from Allah to ban gay sites to "protect the people" from "chaos".
Oh no darlings! They're onto us! Soon they'll have Maxwell Smart and agent 99 after us to protect them from the evil Chaos!
"As the government blocks sites that are associated with radical terrorism, then it should also block sites that propagate LGBT," Hidayat Nur Wahid, the vice-chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), told Hidayatullah on Sunday, adding that the block should cover “online LGBT campaigns associated with foreign funding” (surely a reference to the UNDP’s initiative to protect LGBT rights) as they could cause “chaos” in Indonesia.
Hidayat is hardly the only Indonesian politician equating the fight to protect LGBT rights with terrorism.
"If BNPT (The National Counterterrorism Agency) can block sites that are suspected of terrorism, I think the government should think about doing the same thing related to sites that propagandize about LGBT," said Nasir Jamil, a Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician and member of House Commission I, as quoted by Suara.
Nasir did say he agreed with Coordinating Minister for Legal, Political and Security Affairs Luhut Binsar Panjaitan who said that LGBT individuals have rights that should be protected, but argued that the interests of the wider community should also be considered.
"Do not let these LGBT teachings spread to our society. We have to protect our people," he said. Coconuts Jakarta
