Malaysia's government halted a music festival in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, a day after the frontman of British pop rock band The 1975 kissed a male bandmate onstage and criticised the country's anti-LGBT laws.

    No, but they also aren’t the majority of the population.

        Yes and we are talking about Malaysia. Christians are not the majority.

          But why is Islam supposedly more opposed to LGBTQI+ Topics than Christianity?

            They aren’t but they are the majority if the religious population by such a considerable margin that whether Christians supported equality or not it would not matter.

            There are about ten times as many Muslims as there are Christians in Malaysia so in this case it is the homophobia of the Islamic population that needs to change to make the culture shift.

            No one said they were. You brought up Christianity in the first place.

              EhList said Malaysia can never be decent for LGBTQI+ as long as they are majority Muslim. Why can a majority Christian Country have decent LGBTQI+ rights but not a Muslim one?

                Again, Christianity is not relevant here. Majority Christianity is not the only alternative to majority Muslim.
