Indonesia President Prabowo Subianto has designated the spread of LGBTQ culture as a nonmilitary threat under Indonesia’s 2025–2029 National Defense Policy.
The regulation defines nonmilitary threats as organized, non-armed activities that could endanger national sovereignty, territorial integrity and security.
It classifies the spread of LGBTQ culture as a socio-cultural threat that could contribute to the erosion of nationalism.
The category is grouped alongside terrorism, separatism, online gambling, the spread of prohibited ideologies, human trafficking, piracy, large-scale theft of natural resources and narcotics trafficking.
The regulation also states that LGBTQ-related issues will be addressed using approaches applied to extraordinary crimes.
The presidential regulation provides new legitimation to enact legislation that penalises and discriminates against LGBTQ individuals merely because of their identities.
So far, LGBTQ identities are not criminalised in most of Indonesia, but same-sex relations are illegal under Shariah Laws and in Aceh, the westernmost province of the country.
Unlike the rest of Indonesia, Aceh province follows strict Islamic laws, which make sexual activity outside marriage and same-sex relations illegal. The state's Sharia criminal code went into effect in September 2015.
From now, it will be worst for LGBTQ people in the whole country.
Corporal punishment will continue in Indonesia for being gay
