In Muslim Malaysia, uproar over LGBTQ groups at Women's Day march.

Mustafa Ozturk / Anadolu Agency via Getty Images fileKUALA LUMPUR — A Malaysian minister has decried the presence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups at a march celebrating International Women's Day on Saturday, calling it"a misuse of democratic space".

Mujahid Yusof Rawa, the minister in charge of religious affairs, said the government did not recognize LGBTQ practices as lawful. The rally's organizers, led by women's rights groups, said the focus on the LGBTQ community was a distraction from key demands, such as calls for a dignified minimum wage, a ban on child marriage, and an end to patriarchy and violence based on gender and sexual orientation.

NBCOUT Guess God still hates fags in Malaysia. Given that this is the same country that still punishes some crimes by spanking people's naked buttocks with a rattan cane, maybe it's time to examine their own closeted feelings and self loathing issues.

Israel will knock the Hell out U. S. Democrat Politicians for messing with the Jew's.

NBCOUT Did anyone think anything else could possibly have happened?

NBCOUT Hmmm Chick-fil-A corporate policy is full inclusive, yet a billion folks worldwide have different goals, which are pretty nasty towards our citizens, all deserve equality. Maybe report what’s really going on globally

NBCOUT Good move. Dont accept uncivilized LGBT group. They need rehabilation and God. May God shows them mercy and grace.

NBCOUT Because the LGBTQ group for got their MAP brethern

NBCOUT Well this is Malaysia, after all. Is anyone really surprised? They barely acknowledge women there so LGBT is too much for them to handle. Feel sorry for the Msia's LGBT community but their country has a lot of growing up to do.
