Gays detected in beauty salons, oh the humanity! - Aceh, Indonesia


I don't mean to make light of it, but honestly this is just so absurd it's almost comical.

So Aceh, in western Indonesia, is having some sort of clampdown on the LGBT. Um, Indonesia I have to say here is a very moderate Muslim nation compared to some of the others in the northern hemisphere. So they've decided to cane people who are LGBT, saying that some of them have been detected in beauty salons.
Clerics in West Aceh regency say there is no place for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the area and that those engaged in such activities would be caned as they violate the laws of God and sharia as implemented in Indonesia’s westernmost province. 

The local administration, together with the ulema community, said it would eradicate the LGBT community, who have been detected in a number of beauty salons in West Aceh regency, said West Aceh Ulema Consultative Assembly (MPU) member DI Nasution. 

“This time it’s just a warning for LGBT people netted in previous raids. In the future, if they refuse to change, we will cane them in accordance with Islamic law,” he said as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday. Jakarta Post
I'm trying to imagine whoever it was that "detected" teh gayz in the beauty salon. Was it a male or female detector? Did teh gayz look fabulous? Was that why they were detected? Do they have some kind of detector of gays roaming the streets looking for the slightest gayness? Do clerics of Islam inspect beauty salons? These are grown adults doing this shit? Oh please.....
