Conservative Islamic lawmakers are pushing for a so-called 'Family Resilience' bill, which critics decry as sexist and anti-LGBT

This picture taken on November 26, 2019 shows a woman walking in front of a clinic providing exorcisms for people of the LGBT community in Jakarta. Homosexuality is legal everywhere in Indonesia except conservative Aceh province which adheres to strict Islamic laws. But it is still widely believed that being gay or transgender is the result of a person being possessed by evil spirits -- and that these can be expelled by religious ceremony and prayer.

For the laws we passed and the lives we ruined and the standards we set we are so sorry says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews

epa05325974 Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews (C) makes an apology statement in Parliament House in Melbourne, Australia, 24 May 2016. Andrews has apologized for the 'abominable' historical laws that made homosexuality punishable with jail. Sodomy laws, which criminalized consensual same-sex relationships, a legacy of the British colonial era, were progressively abolished in different jurisdictions of the country between 1972 and 1997. The state of Victoria abolished these laws, under which homosexual acts were punishable with 15 years in prison, in 1981 and since September last year people convicted under these laws can apply to have these convictions expunged from their records.
