Sex law?
Indonesians rally against militarism in Papua & corporate impunity in Borneo haze. They also rally for anti-corruption, land reform, decent work & various civil liberties aside from 'sex'.
If you want to report news, try not to oversimplify other people's struggles.
Thousands of students in Indonesia are protesting a proposed new criminal code that would criminalize same-sex relations and impose jail penalties for abortions or sex outside marriage.
Police fired tear gas and water cannons at them.
this is a v quick tl;dr but not just this as the demo also demands for:
- demilitarization in Papua
- prosecution of corporates responsible for the haze
- cancellation of House Representative-chosen leader for anti-corruption body
- no human rights impunity for current authority
we're just too all over the place 💀 but it is definitely NOT about extramarital sex like what most western media wants you to believe. You think that kind of reason alone could mobilize tens of thousands of students in a dozen different cities across the country?
It isn't just about extramarital sex. It is also about reproductive rights, body autonomy, justice for rape victims, justice for the poor and homeless, how far the government can intervene with its citizen's privacy, labor rights, etc.
This is how ridiculous the bills are.
Trivializing the protests in Indonesia to being just about extramarital sex is reductive and disrespectful. It ignores concerns about indigenous land ownership, Papuan genocide, forest fires and other environmental concerns, and other human rights violations.
Most “they got married and had a bunch of kids” endings suck but Edward Elric getting married and having a bunch of kids and being a stay at home dad is so fucking valid and cool
