Malaysia Launches $1,000 Contest for Videos on How Youth Can 'Prevent' Homosexuality

Why are we ready to go to war over a bakery that won't make a cake for a gay wedding, yet we barely acknowledge when a nation that has criminalized gay sex (punishable by sentences of up to 20 years) does vile things like this? (Hint: Because it's a Muslim majority country and everyone's too afraid to stand up for fear of being called Islamophobic -- so they sit around patting themselves on the back for being so enlightened to know that not all Muslims are homophobes and terrorists. Kudos!) And did you know a former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, was convicted of “sodomy” and the Malaysian government also recently endorsed conversion therapy? Wake up, activists! Moderate Indonesia is just as bad. Read HERE.

 

Malaysian Court Lets Aussies Off Who Partied in Skimpy Speedos

The courts let them off, and they got me off. Everyone wins.

The Associated Press reports: 

Nine Australians charged after stripping down to skimpy briefs at the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix walked free Thursday without a conviction after pleading guilty to causing a public nuisance and apologizing. The nine were detained Sunday after they partied in Budgy Smuggler-brand swimsuits decorated with the Malaysian flag and drank beer from shoes in full view of thousands of spectators at the Sepang track after Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo won the race. Defense lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said the court accepted his argument that it was a trivial offense and that the nine, dressed in suits, were ignorant of the local culture and remorseful. He said one of them read out an apology to the court. Shafee said the court admonished the nine and discharged them without convictions.
