 INTRODUCTION

LGBT OR GLBT IS AN INITIALISM THAT STANDS FOR LESBIAN,

GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER.

IN USE SINCE THE 1990S, THE TERM IS AN ADAPTATION OF THE

INITIALISM LGB, WHICH WAS USED TO REPLACE THE TERM GAY
IN REFERENCE TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY BEGINNING IN THE
MID-TO-LATE 1980S.

ACTIVISTS BELIEVED THAT THE TERM GAY COMMUNITY DID NOT

ACCURATELY REPRESENT ALL THOSE TO WHOM IT REFERRED.
 LGBT, IS INTENDED TO EMPHASIZE A DIVERSITY OF SEXUALITY
AND GENDER IDENTITY-BASED CULTURES. IT MAY BE USED TO
REFER TO ANYONE WHO IS NON-HETEROSEXUAL OR NON-
CISGENDER, INSTEAD OF EXCLUSIVELY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, OR TRANSGENDER.

TORECOGNIZE THIS INCLUSION, A POPULAR VARIANT ADDS

THE LETTER Q FOR THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS QUEER OR ARE
QUESTIONING THEIR SEXUAL IDENTITY, LGBTQ HAS BEEN
RECORDED SINCE 1996.
 THOSE WHO ADD INTERSEX PEOPLE TO LGBT GROUPS OR
ORGANIZING USE AN EXTENDED INITIALISM LGBTI. SOME
PEOPLE COMBINE THE TWO ACRONYMS AND USE THE TERM
LGBTIQ. OTHERS USE LGBT TO ENCOMPASS A SPECTRUM OF
GENDER AND SEXUALITY.

ANTI-LGBTI LAWS: MALAYSIA

MALAYSIAN LAW CURRENTLY PROVIDES FOR WHIPPING AND UP TO A 20-

YEAR PRISON SENTENCE FOR HOMOSEXUAL ACTS INVOLVING EITHER
MEN OR WOMEN.

ACCORDING TO THE 2011 REPORT ON LAWS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY

WORLDWIDE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL,
TRANS AND INTERSEX ASSOCIATION, MALAYSIAN LAW ON HOMOSEXUAL
ACTIVITY IS CODIFIED IN SECTION 377 OF ITS PENAL CODE:
PENAL CODE (CONSOLIDATED VERSION 1998) 187
UNNATURAL OFFENCES
SECTION 377A. CARNAL INTERCOURSE AGAINST THE ORDER OF NATURE.
ANY PERSON WHO HAS SEXUAL CONNECTION WITH ANOTHER PERSON BY
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PENIS INTO THE ANUS OR MOUTH OF THE OTHER
PERSON IS SAID TO COMMIT CARNAL INTERCOURSE AGAINST THE ORDER OF
NATURE. PENETRATION IS SUFFICIENT TO CONSTITUTE THE SEXUAL
CONNECTION NECESSARY TO THE OFFENCE DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 377B. PUNISHMENT FOR COMMITTING CARNAL INTERCOURSE

AGAINST THE ORDER OF NATURE.
WHOEVER VOLUNTARILY COMMITS CARNAL INTERCOURSE AGAINST THE
ORDER OF NATURE SHALL BE PUNISHED WITH IMPRISONMENT FOR A TERM
WHICH MAY EXTEND TO TWENTY YEARS, AND SHALL ALSO BE LIABLE TO
WHIPPING.
SHARIA LAW

THE REPORT STATES FURTHER:

MOREOVER, SEVERAL STATES IN MALAYSIA HAVE INSTATED ISLAMIC SHARIA
LAWS, APPLYING TO MALE AND FEMALE MUSLIMS, CRIMINALISING HOMOSEXUAL
AND LESBIAN ACTS WITH UP TO THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT AND WHIPPING.

THESHARIA PENAL LAW IN THE MALAYSIAN STATE OF SYRIAH PRESCRIBES

PENALTIES FOR SODOMY (LIWAT) AND LESBIAN RELATIONS (MUSAHAQAT) WITH
FINES OF RM5,000.00, THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT AND 6 LASHES OF THE
WHIP. ALL THESE PENALTIES CAN BE COMBINED.
CONCLUSION

THERE IS STILL A SOCIAL STIGMA TOWARDS THE LGBT COMMUNITY AS

MALAYSIANS ARE STILL VERY SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE IN COMPARISON TO
WEST. THIS IS BECAUSE MOST MALAYSIANS STILL ADHERE TO RELIGIOUS
VALUES AND MOST OF THESE RELIGIONS CONDEMN HOMOSEXUALITY. THE
AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDES BY THE RADICAL MUSLIMS COUPLED WITH THE
STIGMA PRESENT WITHIN THE OLDER GENERATION WILL PREVENT THESE
HOMOSEXUALS FROM COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET FOR FEAR OF BEING
PERSECUTED. COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT HOMOSEXUAL SEX STILL
REMAINS AN ILLEGAL ACT, FURTHER FUELING ANTI-LGBT SENTIMENTS.
 THOSE WHO ARE TOLERANT BECOME SO DUE TO BEING
EXPOSED TO MORE LIBERAL VIEWS WHILE
STUDYING/WORKING OVERSEAS. HOWEVER, A LARGE
FRACTION OF THESE MALAYSIANS REMAIN WHEREVER
THEY ARE AND THUS THEY DO NOT BRING BACK THESE
LIBERAL VIEWS.
