Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Same-sex marriage in Indonesia
as |re-written and re-named. Having been to Indonesia and Malaysia, I saw first-hand there are gay undergrounds in both countries ("comfort stations" appear to be especially cruisy). It feels like America c. 1982, in the sense that clandestine MSM meeting sites and prostitution are (ahem) active, the media and relgious authorities routinely lambast gay sex, and HIV is a real public health issue. I was ill with "Bali belly" when there, and on a tour with straight people, so I didn't walk too closely to my Filipino partner. Every religious, class, ethnic, and sexual issue there is politicized. Recognition is widespread that same-sex relationships exist, even if gay sex is illegal ''de jure'', discrimination is widespread, and same-sex marriage will not soon be legalized
