Homophobia is graed Malaysian polics and culture, and homosexual sex is illegal throughout Malaysia unr lonial era crimal law.

There are untri that crimalize homosexualy, eply p stat and regns, and plac that have negative social opns of the LGBT muny. I mean, we’ve experienced all: we’ve vised gay-iendly statns, attend illegal drag shows, stayed wh lol fai, and on the rare ocsn, been the victim of discrimatn and hostily.

Some only apply to gay men, others mean the LGBT muny are not protected om discrimatn, and some untri implement sharia law. To put thgs to perspective, out of the 72 untri that still crimalize homosexualy, jt 10 are Asia (outsi the Middle East and Rsia).
