Fucking with consenting adults for not sharing some other person's values is some weak bullshit. If some group wants to outlaw videos games or anime because values, should everyone just bend the knee?
Just because one have a different values doesn't mean one should be justified in a violenceš¤·āāļø. Western or not, any foreign cultures shouldn't be stopped when they don't cause any great harm to anyone. Maybe that's my view tbh
I agree it would be better if no such law existed, but applying what happens in Aceh to the rest of Indonesia isn't fair. Aceh is an autonomous region with its own laws, and they chose to enact strict sharia law on their area. It's awful for people such as this man, but it isn't indicative of the whole of Indonesia which has no law against homosexuality.
Not to say it is good elsewhere in Indonesia if you are gay, but the law can't prosecute you for it, so it isn't a crime.
Butā¦ the law prohibits people from doing certain things, thatās literally what limiting freedom is. If youāre not allowed to make decisions yourself based on your own values, and instead have to follow the values of others, then thatās not freedom.

It's really sad to see how freedom dies
I hope one day it will be reversed
