A leading Malaysian newspaper has published a list of pointers for identifying potential gay and lesbian people, drawing anger from activists who said lives were being put at risk.
The article in Sinar Harian featured bullet points of supposedly distinctive qualities that revealed LGBT people. They stated that gay men were easy to identify because of their love of beards, going to the gym – not for exercise but to check out other men – and branded clothing. Their eyes light up when they see handsome men, the article said.
The stand-out attributes for lesbians were that they tend to hug each other, hold hands and belittle men, according to the newspaper.
Homosexuality is illegal in Malaysia and punishable under a colonial-era sodomy law that carries a 20-year prison sentence.
Campaigners have called for a softening of rhetoric in Malaysian media after a series of recent deaths of men and women suspected of being gay or transgender.
An 18-year old student, T Nhaveen, was beaten and burned to death last year by classmates who said he was pondan, a colloquial term for a gay man. A 27-year-old transgender woman, Sameera Krishnan, was attacked with a knife and and shot three times in a targeted attack in her florist shop a few months later.
Arwind Kumar, an activist and one of Malaysia’s biggest social media stars, lashed out at the Sinar Harian article, saying it could “take away lives”.
“There are much more important issues in this country which need to be addressed,” he said. “If you really want to educate society then explain to them the traits of a paedophile, a molester, a murderer, a kidnapper, people who actually endanger the lives of others. How the hell does a gay person endanger your life?”

Most of the guys I know/am related to have beards. That is nonsense.
Yes they talk like they have had a stick up their backside or want a stick up their backsid. I know what you are saying its a dead give away
Are you embarrassed about your gayness?
That's OK...we have a safe place for you...here at FR.
We accept you for who you are.
What I’ve discovered is there is a difference between “gay” and “homosexual.” Gay is a political statement; and/or a fashion statement. Homosexuals are just attracted to the same sex. The difference is, you can be a conservative homosexual, but you can’t be a conservative gay. Another difference is, a homosexual won’t bother you if you show no interest. A gay will try to entice you to walk on the wild side.
That’s funny, Rooster!
Hipster, beta cuck beards. These are different from beards on non-betas.
What if they troll Q on threads that aren’t even about Q? Does that mean they’re homosexual and pedophile?
I used to have a beard...and I am not gay.
My sink is full of dishes and silverwear.
Perhaps I should hire a gay to handle the dishes.
And if he tries to give me a kiss, I'll beat him to a pulp.;-)
I’ve heard of more than one sailor who has inadvertently hit on a he-she in Singapore.
I have been carving a Malaysian ocean going canoe...making me crazy.
Oh my God...I hope I am not a Malaysian.
Bump to read comments later.
That said, what man doesn't have a thing for women in hula skirts?
There was a time long, long ago (like back in the early 2000’s) when that statement would have conclusively proven that said skaters were not homosexual. Now though?.....who knows? Could mean two men “married” to each other, two women, or one “man” who is actually a woman “marrying” someone else who may or may not be what they appear, or vice versa, or one of the 1,001 recently discovered “genders” “married” to some other freak, erm...I mean, some other wonderful “diverse” person.
The left’s greatest crime in the end may be how it completely corrupts every innocent word that it commandeers and twists to support its evil propaganda campaign. Those words quickly lose all meaning once the left gets hold of them.
That manner of speaking is affected, not genetic. It’s a calling signal to one another.
What's the point of wiping something that's gonna dry by itself?
Wasted energy...better spent on lifting a beer, cleaning a rifle, etc.
Well for spotting gays from a distance I think using a paint ball gun would work. For up close and personal spotting a Sharpie should do the trick.
Well that’s just considerate to wipe the area after use if it’s public and there’s been splashing. Since when did lack of consideration become conflated with lack of a vice?
