Homosexuality in Malaysia


Homosexuality in Malaysia

In a predominantly Muslim country, Malaysian tends to be conservative over sexuality. While gay bashing is rarely heard of, display of public affection is no-no for any sexuality and any genders and overtly gay couple may highly likely attract curious stares. It is technically illegal for men to have sex with other men but prosecution of gay couples are not common. Anwar Ibrahim is the only high profile case in recent years, although many are convinced that it was a political case. Despite all these, big cities like Kuala Lumpur still have a fairly active gay scene.
