Recently, our president declared LGBT people a 'non-military threat' to the nation, making it much easier for the community to be targeted. So, there has been a rise in anti-gay vigilante groups parading in certain regions and putting up anti-gay banners in neighborhoods.

I found that around 30 regions (including Aceh) have either passed or are currently proposing autonomous laws to regulate the LGBT community. Some of these laws allow people to report anyone showing signs of 'deviant sexual behavior' in their neighborhood, workplace, or school to the police or government. They also mandate the monitoring of 'high-risk' places, like gyms.

There is a smear campaign being led by healthcare workers, doctors, and psychologists regarding the 'dangers' of being LGBT. They recently shared a post with a picture of a prolapsed anus with condyloma, claiming that no one in the community would help this person and that gay people need to repent. The post was shared around 30,000 times, mostly by healthcare workers.

However, they actually stole that image from a medical journal case report about a 50-year-old straight housewife from Brazil (Link:[https://www.scivisionpub.com/pdfs/giant-condyloma-acuminata-bruschkeloewenstein-tumor-case-report-and-literature-review-1079.pdf\](https://www.scivisionpub.com/pdfs/giant-condyloma-acuminata-bruschkeloewenstein-tumor-case-report-and-literature-review-1079.pdf)).

I also found a statement from a doctor claiming that HIV can be transmitted through sweat if it mixes with micro-lesions during sports. When people tried to correct this misinformation in the comments, they were dismissed by the homophobes.

Not only that, netizens from our country like to harass gay couples from neighboring countries like Thailand and the Philippines, to the point they throw violent threats.

MUI (an higher Islamic institution in Indonesia) is currently proposing to House of Representatives to make same sex activity illegal, just like in Aceh and Malaysia. They're still considering it. If they both agreed, then same sex activity across Indonesia will be illegal and punishable.
