Broadcast – 15 March 2016
The LGBTI community in Indonesia is under attack. Politicians are speaking out against them, religious groups are up in arms and even the local Psychiatric Association has joined the chorus of anti-gay sentiment.
- What is driving this current wave of negativity towards the gay community?
- Although homosexuality is legal, what is the risk that it will be re-criminalised?
- Who has united with the gay community to defy these attacks and fight for change?
For an insider’s view on LGBTI life in Indonesia right now, we speak with Dede Oetomo, Founder and Trustee of Gaya Nusantara – Indonesia’s oldest LGBT rights organisation.
