Dr Joseph GohA recent report described discrimination against LGBT people in this country as “pervasive”. Same sex sexual acts can result in fines, prison sentences of up to twenty years, and even caning. And now some members of the government want to make these laws even harsher. Welcome to Malaysia. Yet one gay man has taken on the law…and won. He took his sodomy charge to Malaysia’s top court who found the Islamic provision used was unconstitutional.

To help us understand why Malaysian society seems so unready to even accept LGBT people, we spoke with Dr Joseph Goh, a Senior Lecturer in gender studies in the School of Arts and Social Studies at Monash University Malaysia.

Homosexuality has actually had a high profile in this country – largely due to the use of sodomy laws in the political arena.  Despite attracting international condemnation, the practice persists.  We’re off to Malaysia.

  • What affect does the political misuse of the colonial-era sodomy laws have on everyday LGBT Malaysians?
  • How do you start a public conversation to remove these anti-gay laws?
  • Is there a change going on that might move LGBT acceptance forward?

To enlighten us on the current mood in Malaysia, we were joined by Dr Joseph Goh, Lecturer in Gender Studies at Monash University in Malaysia.

Music: We have also included a couple of relevant JOY 94.9 music tracks – Forbidden Love by Madonna & Beating Like a Drum by Guy Sebastian
