British pop-rock band The 1975 has been banned from performing in Malaysia a day after the band’s frontman Matty Healy slammed the country’s anti-LGBTQ laws and then kissed his bandmate, bassist Ross MacDonald.
The country, where homosexuality is illegal, also canceled the remainder of the Good Vibes Festival Saturday, which was supposed to run the rest of the weekend with several other acts.
"There will be no compromise against any party that challenges, disparages and violates Malaysian laws," Malaysia’s Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said in a statement, according to Reuters.
He added, "never touch on the sensitivities of the community, especially those that are against the traditions and values of the local culture."
The Good Vibes Festival said in a statement they "deeply regret" the cancelation of the festival due to the "controversial conduct and remarks made by UK artist Matty Healy from the band 1975."
The statement added that Malaysia’s Ministry of Communication has "underlined its unwavering stance against any parties that challenge, ridicule, or contravene Malaysian laws."
A government committee also clarified that The 1975 has been banned from the country.
"I do not see the point of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we can have sex with," Healy said in a lengthy onstage speech Friday, saying they had considered canceling but didn’t want to disappoint their fans.

It’s interesting that faggots and leftists cant’ be content keeping it to themselves. They have to shove their depravity in others’ faces and demand that they accept their filth as “normal”.

Malaysia sounds like a good retirement destination....
If a bloke kisses a mate on a stage, I have no problem. If a guy who has an LGBTQueer agenda, is sticking this in our faces, kiss my ass. That, kiss is the magic bullet. Ban him forever!
He and Taylor Swift were going together for about the length of time it takes to make a Pound Cake from a mix.
Either that cake quickly fell, or someone left it out in the rain.

A fine representative of the American Empire.
Globohomo is causing more and more nations to turn away in disgust. China and Russia stand to gain.
I know one thing: it influenced me to dislike him and the rest of the alphabet nazis even more!
Indeed.
This guy, or ?, will be lucky if he makes it out of that country.
The Whole “ in your face” act usually ends up in a cell there.
At least he still has his head.
As long as you're Muslim.
Well the better term is "Anglosphere".
She found out that the thing they had in common was, they both want to have sex with men.
Apparently!
I thought I heard some rumors that Taylor plays for the other team. She certainly acts like someone who’s not all that into guys.
not a complete loss then...
When I read the headline, I though the story was from 1975. The band’s name will make it very difficult for searchers to locate it on Internet search engines and in databases.
