JAKARTA. More politicians have spoken out against the spread of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement, but have warned people not to commit any violence and discrimination. People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) Chairman Zulkifli Hasan urged the public to narrow the space for the LGBT movement to spread, adding that he considered LGBT to have no place in Indonesia as the act of homosexuality had been warned against in every religion. "As a movement, the existence of LGBT must be opposed. We must limit its room to move. However, as individual people, they must be protected like any other citizen," said Zulkifli, chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), as quoted by Antara news agency.
