PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says his views on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community do not differ from those of his wife Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who deems them "forbidden".

"Azizah is an intelligent leader in her own right. What she said precisely was that the sexual act is haram, and that is not disputed in any Islamic text or religious texts," he said during an interview with Al Jazeera.
