An officer from the Islamic Affairs Department of Malaysia once described homosexuals as "shameless people" and homosexuality as a "sin worse than murder. It is a major sin," Homosexuals are not recognized in Malaysia. LGBT rights do not exist. Possible punishments actually include caning and prison sentences up to 20 years. Homosexuality is not a choice. 2.5 million Malaysians are being treated unequally every single day. It is up to us to change that.
