You never know what is going to come out of some very different cultures. In Indonesia, there have been some headline grabbing statements made lately about gays.
The Daily Mail reports,
The mayor of a major Indonesian city has come under fire for suggesting instant noodles and children’s formula is making babies gay.
Tangerang Mayor Arief R Wismansyah made the bizarre claim during a pregnancy seminar in the city, located to the west of Jakarta, earlier this week.
‘To create Indonesian children that are healthy smart and competitive, the most important thing is, from the beginning, to provide them adequate nutrition, especially breastfeeding,’ Mr Wismansyah said, according to Indonesian news website Okezone.
Mr Wismansyah went on to canned milk and other similar products were relied upon more heavily nowadays because parents are busier.
‘So, it’s no wonder that recently there are more LGBT,’ he said.
Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu has compared the LGBT movement to nuclear war. Another Indonesian minister called for banning LGBT students from universities. Makes you wonder, why do LGBT people complain so loud about discrimination in the U.S., but you don’t hear them say much about far more countries that are genuinely hostile to them?
