Once-tolerant Indonesia moves to outlaw gay – and extramarital

I'm skeptical of your claim, may be on the books but enforced?

Even taking you at face value this is a clear case of whataboutism. Finally errors of almost 30 years ago give these assholes a pass how?

See Lawrence v. Texas.

Point taken, but it was more of a relic, rarely enforced. My other comments stand, this is irrelevant to this discussion.

Yes it is relevant, the point being that it's not a uniquely Islamic phenomenon.

Way to go with your whataboutism, nobody claimed it was solely Islamic. It's disingenuous to equate current state Islam acceptance of homosexuality with current acceptance in Christianity. You just want to inject "I'm not a racist" signal.

It's called injecting some perspective.
