Towards a more tolerant society

SEKSUALITI Merdeka has drawn up a list of 29 ways, which, they feel, can make Malaysia a better place for all. Below are 10 of them:

1. Don’t use terms associated with LGBTIQs as slurs. Don’t use terms like “gay”, “fag”, “dyke”, “pondan”, “bapok”, “pengkid”, “ah qua”, etc. to disparage, insult, or hurt anyone, whether gay or straight. Don’t perpetuate homophobic or transphobic jokes to tease someone or at the expense of LGBTIQs.
