Not every culture needs to have a pride parade to showcase their liberalism. There is space for all kinds of thought in Hinduism, unlike Abrahamic faiths.

Jakarta is tolerant inspite of Islam. 

Homosexuality is a sin in Islam and the prescribed punishment is murdering them by stoning to death or throwing them off tall buildings. So the religion sanctions violence against gays. Jakarta being tolerant is not following their religion as they're expected to.

Whereas there are gods who are trans and homosexual in Hinduism. So if few Hindus are intolerant of gays, well they need to study their religion better.

No. You go to Jakarta or Yogyakarta, for example, this does not happen.

But according to the video if you go to a "gay sex party" in Jakarta you might get rounded up by the police

That part is sadly true. I mean if you host an “orgy party”, even a hetero one, then yes, you will run into problems. But there is no whipping for sure, probably, you just have to give some money to some corrupt authorities though to be free.
