ndonesia should join 80 other countries in the world in outlawing homosexual activity. Such practices are against Islamic teachings and Christian values.

I may be old, with outdated morals, but homosexuality should not be allowed in Indonesia. The country does not have to follow Australia, America, UK and other Western countries that have lost their sense of morality.

I used to be a regular visitor to Bali, but the last time I visited the island, I was sickened to see old Western men hitting on young Indonesian boys. We went one afternoon to a hotel swimming pool in Legian, but did not stay long.

There was a group of men from Australia lying and playing around the pool. They were kissing, cuddling and touching each other. This was the most disgusting, perverted and sick thing I had ever seen in my adult life. Families with children were leaving the hotel as fast as they came in. What happened to the beer-drinking, BBQ-cooking tough Aussie men of yore? Now they are the homosexual capital of the world.

If Bali wants to accept this, then that is up to them, but surely Indonesians don'€™t want to see this on the streets of Jakarta. It'€™s not just the Islamic hardliners that are against this, but also any person with normal values and morals.
