Jakarta: Amid widespread criticism for rejecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people as civil servant candidates, the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has defended its recruitment requirements, saying the institution “only wants the normal ones”.
Adding to the long list of prejudices against the minority group in the country, the AGO has put forward a ban on LGBT jobseekers, mentioning among job requirements that applicants “must not be mentally disabled and not show sexual orientation or behavioural deviations”.
