Information on the situation for homosexuals
in Indonesia:
Legal
Indonesia is a huge country
stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific - from Sumatra to New Guinea. It contains a number of totally
different cultures and religions and it is therefore impossible to give
a uniform picture of the situation for homosexuals. To some, homosexual
acts may be completely taboo while it even is expected of others at one
period in life! Homosexuality is, however, legal throughout this island
nation. The island of Bali is a popular target for gay tourists.
Islam, with its restrictive
attitude towards gays, finds its way to an increasing number of followers.
In fact Indonesia is one of the world's greatest Islamic nations.
