  • Status is not correct "As Indonesian, while the status of law never mention the ban of LGBTQ rights or homosexuality. Often they targeted by police force through another law such as adultery or the crime of facilitating obscene acts and under a 2008 pornography law, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. judging by situation and the current society act towards the LGBTQ community in Indonesia, it is not fair to put it as legal status. Please change it "
