Indonesia: LGBTI community under attack

Asia/Pacific

Broadcast – 11 October 2016

2016 has not been a good one for Indonesia’s LGBTI community. A sudden surge in anti-LGBTI rhetoric has not subsided. If anything, it has actually gotten worse.

• How did the Facebook rainbow flag filter turn from a celebration to a verbal assault on the LGBTI community?
• Is circulating an erotic book in Indonesia throwing oil onto an already hot fire?
• How can you, here in Melbourne, help out our Indonesian LGBTI neighbours?

Sometimes it only takes the ‘power of one’ to bring change. We speak with Alda – an artist and the author of fanzine Penahtam Erotika, who is using words and pictures to battle against the anti-gay rhetoric.
