hi guys, please take ur time to read this.
not too long ago, the president of Indonesia release a statement naming LGBTQIA+ "agenda" as a non-military threat to the nation. in result, queer people in my country are being witch hunted. anarchist cishet men in my country created an organization called "boti hunter" (boti=bottom/twinks) for each city. yesterday they made a move and flex it on social media targetting trans women at night who were working to make ends meet. they brought bottles of alcoholic drinks and smashing it around them, and it resulted around 15 trans women getting beaten, kicked, and doused with urine.
they have been threatening queer people on social media by doxxing and cyber-bullying them with threats, as far as death and rape. there are screenshots of cishet men encouraging their fellows saying "let's beat up lesbians and strip them naked so they can go back to normal".
as you know, i identify myself as a fem-leaning queer (closeted irl) and i have been actively using social media to retaliate against violence targetting marginalized people and i also make my time to speak about political crisis happening in my country. but, as far as my bravery can go, i'm starting to feel terrified, many of us queers don't even feel safe in our social media, which is our only safe space for so long. the government is oppressing us, this is a call for help!!! we really can't do anything to change this situation unless the world listen to us.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has signed a national defense policy that classifies the promotion of LGBTQ+ culture as a “nonmilitary threat” alongside illegal trafficking, natural resource theft, terrorism, atheism and radicalism.
Human Rights Watch says the policy has contributed to harassment and attacks against LGBTQ+ people.

yang straight jangan terlalu seneng soal witch hunt ini. you could be the victims too because the line between heterosexuals and homosexuals is blurry. none of us are safe here.
i’d rather share a table with the poor, lesbians, gay men, trans people, sex workers, and everyone society calls “undeserving” than spend my life around people whose faith has become an excuse for arrogance and condemnation.
adehhh mau sampe kapan ya org org indo ini stop memperdebatkan "kita punya cinta dunia punya norma" KEPOSTINGAN QUEER MEDIA DARI NEGARA YG LEGAL LGBTQ+
Selamat kepada orang-orang yang kemarin menyebarkan foto hoaks tentang "penyakit yang disebabkan LGBT" dan ikut-ikutan mengamplifikasi berita-berita yang bernada kebencian terhadap kaum marjinal.
Selamat, kalian sudah berhasil melanggengkan kekerasan terhadap sesama manusia.
using religion as an excuse to bully or assault lgbtq+ people is one of the biggest contradictions i’ve ever seen.
you claim to defend your faith while abandoning the very compassion it’s supposed to teach. Tuhan jg bingung keknya lihat kelakuaan iblis lu smua
Susah emang hidup di negara yang warganya masih miskin tapi memukul sesama orang miskin. Merasa dosanya lebih sedikit dari siapapun, padahal sama-sama pendosa.
