• The mother of one man fainted at the sight of her son being flogged

A gay couple were flogged in Indonesia’s conservative Aceh province on Thursday, justice officials said, in a public spectacle lambasted by human rights groups.

The two men were whipped nearly 80 times each for having gay sex, which is outlawed in Aceh province under local Islamic law.

The pair, who were not identified, winced in pain and pleaded for the whipping to stop, as a masked sharia officer beat their backs with a rattan stick.
===============================================================
The punishment was briefly halted and the men, both in their twenties, were allowed a drink of water before it continued.

I've seen video of this kind of flogging in SE Asia & it can literally split the skin & make a bloody mess of their bodies.

Horrible.

Kinda kills the credibility of HuffPost's June 2018 video about how Islam and LGBT can be compatible.

Well, let's give Indonesia time to become more civilized.

The West should be careful about being self-righteous.

Don't forget what happened to Oscar Wilde. And don't forget about that Englishman who helped break the German code during World War II, only to be arrested and subjected to chemical castration by the nation that he had helped saved from Nazi invasion.

Don't forget that when the Allies freed the German concentration camp inmates after World War II. they did NOT free those inmates who had been sent there for gay offenses.

Don't forget that gay men in England in the early 19th century would be put in stocks and then a mob would throw dead cats and dogs at them.
