Indonesia's Conservative Aceh Province Votes to Punish Gay Sex by Caning

Lawmakers in Indonesia's conservative Aceh province have passed a law that makes gay sex punishable by caning and subjects non-Muslims to it too.

The law passed Saturday says anal sex between men is punishable by up to 100 lashes. Women found guilty of "rubbing" their body parts against each other for sexual pleasure are also liable for caning.

Why didn't the Gay Protector send a diplomatic entourage to Indonesia to talk to the Indonesians about raising cane to his depraved kindred but sent the Obama Gay Brigade to Uganda when they had planned on meting out a tough punishment to their gay flamingos?

Think:Uganda mostly Christianity Vs Indonesia overwhelmingly Muslim population

Uganda's religious heritage is tripartite: indigenous religions, Islam, and Christianity. About four-fifths of the population is Christian, primarily divided between Roman Catholics and Protestants (mostly Anglicans).

Well, the Indonesians ought to be careful about where they point their canes. One wrong twist of the wrist could make all he difference between pleasure and pain.

I thought caning went out with the invention of frozen foods… what’s this stuff???

You were quick on the trigger. I was going to post the story as well.

THat’s what I meant.

Oddly enough that is also the punishment for sadomasochists.

Duck sodomy only rates two lashes

Well, I guess that gets crossed off the list of homo honeymoon destination spots.

Women rubbing their body parts against each other for sexual pleasure is an apt description. It sure isn’t sexual intercourse.

Conservative?

Radical, hard-liner, fundamentalist, yes. But this is a sloppy pejorative.

[dayglored]

But now how will they mete out punishments like "Buff-Buff", much less "Death by Buff-Buff"???

> Oddly enough that is also the punishment for sadomasochists.

Why am I reminded of the Uncle Remus story "Br'er Rabbit and the Briar Patch"?

That whole episode ( http://mindontravel.com/2013/05/21/the-story-of-michael-fay-and-how-to-not-get-caned-in-singapore/ ) was quite study in cultural contrasts.

A bit of personal exposure to Singapore, having spent two weeks there in the late 1970’s and then passing trough their airport twice in 2010 enroute to Indonesia, has made me a fan of many aspects of their culture, government and work ethic.

As to the subject of caning, a bit of exposure to the “board of education”, applied to my “seat of learning” while attending an all boys high school during the early 1960’s has, in hindsight, given me an appreciation for the benefits of corporal punishment. (pardon the pun)
