Delay in bill criminalising sex outside marriage divides Indonesians

Govt should stay out of the bedroom for consenting adults.

People who wish to live their lives in marriage, are free to do so.

People who don't wish to do that shouldn't have to worry that human sexuality between consenting adults, in private, would ever be illegal.

Lewd behavior in public (like a car) should be illegal.

No, the "people" don't want this bill to pass. As an Indonesian myself, I can say with certainty that this kind of garbage bill is only pushed forward and supported by Muslim extremists(the article tried to use the "conservative" euphemism, but I'll call it what it is, extremists), which is actually still quite less than half of the entire Muslim population of Indonesia.

This is hardly the first time these extremists try to push their nonsensical ideology into the law despite Indonesia being actually NOT a Muslim country(Yes, 90% of the local population is Muslim, but it is not a Muslim country by constitution). The most disgusting thing about it is that these extremists are hypocrites. They try to ban things like smoking, drinking alcohol or sex outside marriage, but if they're the ones doing it it's suddenly totally fine.

So yeah, hoping this crazy bill will be ripped apart.
