The current religious minister has made it his personal mission to repress immoral acts.

The ammenmends—if successful—mean that Muslims who disregard the Islamic Law in the country (such as for being LGBT) can be punished with a maximum 30 years in prison (from the current 3 years), RM100,000 fine (from the current RM1,000) and up to 100 strokes of cane (from the current 6 strokes).

Oh goody, Najib's going to get caned 100x.

What do you mean? Najib is not charged in any syariah-related courts.

In fact these laws are just gonna be used against regular citizens and people of higher social class will be exempted as usual.

Looting your nation's coffers is an immoral act, but you're right, it doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Syariah Court. It's not sexy enough.

Its 2020, whats wrong with lgbt ?

Polish MPs coordinate outfits to form a rainbow to show LGBT solidarity at homophobic president's swearing-in ceremony

Polish opposition members of parliament on Thursday formed a rainbow with their outfits at President Andrzej Duda's swearing-in in solidarity with the LGBT community after he was accused of running a campaign laced with homophobic rhetoric.

Duda, an ally of the ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, argued ahead of the July vote that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people 'are not people, it's an ideology'.

His words were condemned by the opposition and members of the international community.

The MPs, from Poland's 'Left' grouping, donned rainbow masks and brightly-coloured outfits in shades of the rainbow, sitting in rows, as Duda was sworn in, in the lower house of parliament, the Sejm.

They also posed for photos in and outside parliament with rainbow and white and red Polish flags.

After seeing the snap circulating on Twitter, many took to the comments section to praise the MPs efforts of solidarity.

'Andrzej Duda’s swearing-in ceremony. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that your vote for The Left is a wasted vote. After all they’re the only ones who stand in solidarity with Polish LGBTQ+ people,' wrote one, while a second penned:

'Major love and respect to the Polish MP’s who co-ordinated their outfits to create a rainbow flag at the swearing in for their homophobic president Andrzej Duda.'

A third commented: 'Reasons to be hopeful. A group of Polish MPs coordinated their outfits in the design of the rainbow flag at the swearing in ceremony of the homophobic President Andrzej Duda.'

'The MPs were just metres away from Duda in the Chamber today. He’s described LGBT rights as an “ideology” and presided over Poland becoming the worst performing EU country on LGBT rights. That’s why this image matters so much and gives at least a little hope for LGBT Poles.'

Duda, who was elected in 2015, has also been widely criticised for lashing out at same-sex marriage and vowing to ban same-sex couples from adopting children.

He won a second term last month after an acrimonious campaign laced with homophobic language and appeals to religious conservatives, raising fears of further discrimination among LGBT+ Poles.

Indonesian village elects country's first transgender mayor



As the mayor of a small village in Indonesia, Hendrika Mayora Kelan celebrated her 34th birthday last week by giving out vegetables to her community. Kelan is the first openly trans woman to become a public official in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country.

"I am grateful for the support of the people to me as a trans woman. They entrusted the leadership of the village council to me," Kelan told DW. She said at times during the election, she felt inferior because of her sexual orientation. But it seems her reputation as a hard worker mattered more to the village.

"As soon as I was elected, I was immediately confronted with the hardships brought on by the pandemic. So, I immediately created a food security program, planted crops and distributed them to the community," said Kelan. The Habi Village Consultative Body has important functions, including drawing up village regulations, overseeing the use of village funds and monitoring the performance of village officials.

With the authority she has for the next six years, Kelan will also try to enact inclusive policies, including empowering marginalized groups such as transgender people.

Habi village in Sikka district is part of a Catholic-majority region in Indonesia's southernmost province, East Nusa Tenggara. There are around 320,000 people in Sikka, of which Muslims make up 9%. Before transitioning to a woman, Kelan had been a religious brother in the Catholic Church. As a devout Catholic, she has contended with a struggle between her sexual identity and her faith.

Born in August 1986, she was given the male name Henderikus. She said she had felt like a girl since elementary school; wearing make-up and playing with girl's toys.

"I already felt different from boys. But due to family pressure, I continued to survive as a boy." When she was a child, her family moved to the larger island of Papua and in high school, Kelan entered a Catholic seminary school and became a religious brother. "I had the spirit to serve others," she said.

But during that time, she also struggled with accepting her identity and reconciling her faith with the feeling that being transgender was a sin prohibited by her religion.

Meanwhile, the feeling that she was a woman trapped in a male body grew stronger, and she began battling depression. "I did not tell my bosses about my self-identity, but I think all people could see my femininity," she said.

After two years, she decided to leave the service of the church. Slowly she started coming out as transgender and began wearing women's clothes.

She moved to the city of Yogyakarta on Java. She volunteered to help victims of HIV-AIDS, but she soon ran out of money. She worked as a street performer and a sex worker, facing beatings and harassment from officials. In 2018, following the death of her cousin, Kelan decided to leave the city and return to the village in Sikka where she was born.

Govt to study reinstitution of special committee to empower Syariah Court
Source: https://www.thesundaily.my/local/govt-to-st...court-FF3456016



KUALA LUMPUR: The government is planning to reinstitute the Special Committee to Empower Syariah Court that seeks to uphold the country’s syariah judiciary holistically.

Minister in the Prime Minister Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri (pix) said the committee was first formed in 2017, but it was dissolved following the change of government after the 14th General Election.

“Besides, the administration and procedures are being streamlined through the development of Syariah Court Practice Directive, Syariah Court Procedure and standard operating procedures to be adopted by Syariah Court,” he said during Ministers’ Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat, today.

He was replying to the question raised by Tan Sri Noh Omar (BN-Tanjong Karang) on whether the government plans to set up a committee to restructure the administration and procedures used by Syariah Court so as to improve the service and integrity of the institution.

Zulkifli said before a restructuring exercise can be implemented, approvals must be obtained from the heads of Islam in each state (Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultans and Raja) and state government’s religious authorities. — Bernama

Finger-crossed that the royalties will reject the proposed restructuring. The fact that muslims have to be subjected by two differents laws is so screwed up.

The Global Divide on Homosexuality Persists



Despite major changes in laws and norms surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opinion on the acceptance of homosexuality in society remains sharply divided by country, region and economic development.



As it was in 2013, when the question was last asked, attitudes on the acceptance of homosexuality are shaped by the country in which people live. Those in Western Europe and the Americas are generally more accepting of homosexuality than are those in Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. And publics in the Asia-Pacific region generally are split. This is a function not only of economic development of nations, but also religious and political attitudes.

But even with these sharp divides, views are changing in many of the countries that have been surveyed since 2002, when Pew Research Center first began asking this question. In many nations, there has been an increasing acceptance of homosexuality, including in the United States, where 72% say it should be accepted, compared with just 49% as recently as 2007.

Nah, the fact that there are multiple suspects mean that they already planned the crime beforehand.

Let's not blame the victim.

ShanghaiPRIDE halts its 12-year ride over 'safety'
Source: https://malaysia.yahoo.com/news/shanghaipri...-072137965.html



China's longest-running LGBTQ group, ShanghaiPRIDE, has said it is stopping all its activities and events "to protect the safety of all involved".

The Shanghai-based group holds an annual festival that aims to raise awareness for China's gay community, as well as running a series of social and cultural events through the year.

But in a statement on Thursday night posted on its official account on social media platform WeChat, organisers said they were "cancelling all upcoming activities and taking a break from scheduling any future events."

One of the co-founders, Charlene Liu, later said that "the decision was difficult to make but we have to protect the safety of all involved".

"It's been a great 12-year-ride and we are honoured and proud to have traveled this journey of raising awareness and promoting diversity for the LGBTQ community," she wrote in a separate statement.

Founded in 2009, the Shanghai group is the nation's longest-running Pride event and held its twelfth annual Pride festival in June, including forums, a Pride run, Rainbow Bike Ride and a series of film screenings.

Its website lists partners for this year as including the Consulate-Generals in Shanghai of Australia, British, Canada, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, while corporate sponsors include US computing giant Microsoft.

But in recent years the LGBTQ community has been facing extra pressure in China.

Online content in socially-conservative China is subject to heavy and often arbitrarily applied censorship, especially content depicting LGBT people.

In recent years, censors have muted discussions on social media, banned homosexuality in films and even prevented the sale of rainbow-themed items online.

Demands to make gay marriage legal have not been met despite growing support and an overhaul of the marriage law earlier this year.

Homosexuality was only decriminalised in China in 1997 and was classified as a mental illness until as recently as 2001.

ShanghaiPRIDE had already postponed a series of earlier events this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But future events including a Pride Festival, a series of forums, and a Red Ribbon charity dinner in December, will all be cancelled.
