'WE LIVE HERE': FEARS TOURIST TWEETS ON GAY LIFTYLE MAY BACKFIRE ON BALI'S LGBT MUNY

All members of the gay muny should be able to travel where they want and enjoy the experienc Indonia has to give, but ’s important to be aware of the suatn before travelg. As stands, same-sex sexual activy is still legal most provc although there is a strong movement to crimalize gay sex and is currently beg discsed ernment.

An anti-pornography law that also forbids sex parti and ‘viant sexual acts’ are often over-broadly terpreted and ed to target LGBT people; this is ed as the exce behd the growg number of police raids on meetg pots for the Indonian gay muny. Islamic anizatns have put a lot of prsure on the ernment to crack down on the gay populatn, and sce 2016 there has been a rise anti-LGBT rhetoric g om policians and public figur, as policians try to e moral issu to w vot.

Tradnally Indonian society, there was a fair amount of tolerance towards gay people, provid they stayed discreet and quiet about their private liv.

IN BALI, LGBT BS TARGETED FOR TERG TO THE GAY MUNY AND ‘TATG TOURISM’

A lot of the gay scene happened unrground, and gay upl would rarely be publilly livg together or a relatnship. There have been creasg numbers of police raids and asslts on the gay muny, forcg the closure of gay bars and clubs (outsi of Bali). Over time, however, as the public discsn around homosexualy has bee more ght and there have been high-profile sndals volvg celebri and homosexual misnduct, the natnal broadstg missn troduced a policy banng programm om portrayg LGBT behavr as ‘normal.

Intertgly, transgenr inty is somethg that has tradnally been more accepted than gay, lbian and bisexual inty Indonia. Waria (men born wh the souls of women) lived openly daily life and are a varied group: cross-drsers, transsexuals, drag queens and effemate gay men. However, while homosexualy might not technilly be illegal, but is a volatile suatn at the moment, one which foreigners will not necsarily be exempt om, so safety and nstant awarens will be ccial.

As mentned above, sharia law erns the provce Aceh and the cy of Palembang South Sumatra, where homosexualy has been ma illegal. Here LGBT travelers n fd a relatively flourishg gay scene, wh plenty of gay-iendly acmodatn, bars, and clubs, particularly Semyak the south of the island. The Gili Islands between Bali and Lombok are as ee as Bali, though; the three ty piec of paradise are somewhere gay travelers n feel fortable lettg their guard down a ltle, although they are far ls hedonistic than Bali.

GAY INDONIA

However, ’s unlikely that gay travelers will experience any downright rejectn if they are booked at ternatnal, upsle hotels. What gay travelers won’t fd, however, is much (if anythg) the way of activi and fun aimed at the gay muny.

BALI · GAY BEACH

Certaly, if LGBT travelers are lookg for an out-and-proud gay party holiday, Indonia as a whole is not the place to go.

If parti and some element of eedom are what gay travelers are lookg for Indonia, will have to be Bali.

In a untry, as silenced as Indonia, n be hard to work out how you might meet like-md lols who n tell you more about Indonia’s gay muny and the gay scene – or jt to show you a good time! In Bali’s gay bars ’s easy enough to get chattg to people, but most gay events other plac end up gettg shut down and phed unrground, so unls you’re the know, you are likely to miss the entirely.

Gay men e workg apps like Grdr, Scff and Pla Romeo but the will be blocked unls you get a secure VPN. However, polics isn’t always people, and gay travelers uld be surprised by the wele and tolerance they might receive; would be a generalizatn to assume everyone is a nservative Mlim.

Gays who are nsirg gog to somewhere Indonia for their next holiday should thk refully about what they want om a holiday. On the other hand, gay people should be, and n, travel eely around the untry whout any issu, provid they are not explic about their sexualy. Sexualy is seen que differently than the Wt, and though tolerant and gay-iendly, Bale themselv rarely embrace gay liftyl as an inty.
