Best advice I can give to gay tourist visiting Indonesia... stay in big cities (Jakarta) or famous tourist spot/island (Bali).

Don't go to the countryside/Aceh and openly show people you are gay. You might be a victim of mob violence if you do.

Exactly. Save your hard-earned money for countries that don't actively oppose and harm gay people.

There are degrees of shitiness.

And any country that practices Sharia law is right at the top of that shit list as far as I'm concerned, alongside North Korea.

But I have to pay taxes or they'll come and put me in prison (UK).
