QUEER MALAYSIA: GAY MEN ON LIFE AND LOVE A UNTRY WHERE HOMOSEXUALY IS OUTLAWED

As Malaysia’s first-ever ‘gay’ film, Dalam Botol was groundbreakg, but others such as Bak Api and Waris Jari Hantu also show that the untry’s LGBT issu nnot be ignored Published: 11:00am, 16 Jul, 2020 Updated: 11:00am, 16 Jul, 2020 A scene om Malaysia's first gay film, Dalam Botol, which put a spotlight on the untry’s LGBT muny. Tucked away off the Eastern ast of Malaysia near Thailand, Langkawi is more liberal and relaxed than the rt of Malaysia, as gay travelers will soon notice – and is probably a large reason why Gay Langkawi is popular wh LGBT travelers. You will be weled almost everywhere you go: bars, clubs, and rtrants and will surely have no issu any of the upsle rorts; however, jt be aware you will not fd a gay scene anywhere near as bizarre as that Kuala Lumpur, as crazy as Ho Chi Mh Cy or as open and hedonistic as nearby Phet if that is your ma ncern.

Many Malaysians still hold nservative attus to any display of public affectn – straight or gay – although people here are surprisgly open-md, pecially more trendy, upsle areas. As a general le, what gay people do their own time Malaysia is largely only an issue if you are a Malaysian polician or want to watch Bety & The Beast. Sadly the fluence of nservative Islam on mastream polics and culture Malaysia is currently creasg – none of which should affect your average gay traveler, however.

So e to Gay Langkawi for the luxur rorts, dive sunsets, duty-ee shoppg, and mouth-waterg cktails – jt don’t expect to be met wh rabow flags or out-and-proud gay life.

GAY LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA | THE ESSENTIAL LGBT TRAVEL GUI!

Note: Malaysia retas a Brish lony-era crimal ban on sodomy, poorly fed but clus both heterosexual and homosexual acts, wh punishment rangg om f to prison sentenc of up to twenty years and even rporal punishment.

Though this law is rarely, if ever, applied to foreigners and should not disurage gay travelers om visg Langkawi, is worth readg up on LGBT rights Malaysia. Bee gay life Langkawi maly occurs onle, at night and behd closed doors, many of the attractns Langkawi durg the day that gay travelers will want to see are the top attractns here anyway.

Gay travelers  Langkawi should take special re regardg public displays of affectn where many rints may be ls exposed to LGBT culture and likely hold nservative attus…Malaysian people fd this very embarrassg, even wh heterosexual upl.

A very gay-iendly rort is tucked away on a hillsi amid tropil rarts offerg a tranquil stay only 5 mute’s walk om Pantai Tengah beach. There are no specific gay bars Langkawi, but there is a small gay scene here focsed around a few different plac, and plenty of gay-iendly bars to explore. Sadly there is no such thg as an openly gay bar Malaysia – this uld lead to ser problems for the owners of the bar, cludg havg their license revoked, but there are plac that are well-known the lol LGBT muny as ‘gay-iendly hangout’.

Far more subtle than Kuala Lumpur (whose gay bars really ph barriers) – but also whout the police raids every few months or years! You n meet gay people everywhere here, so often, is bt jt to choose the venu based on their drks/mic/vib and see what happens.
