There are news about the government plan to review existing legal provisions on the enforcement of deviant activities such as "unnatural sex" or plainly known as "gay sex" following the high profile raid on last Friday. The released of the detainees were due to the lack of evidence and legal ground for remand. Based on the current law, it is illegal to have gay sex but only it is illegal when it is caught in act or either of the party claim to be victim. Although it is illegal, the current law is too ambiguous to able to charge someone for it. In other word, there is no right law for now.
Some government personnel who got detained during the raid were removed from job. It is no surprise they did it in swift action to "punish" for involving in such scandal. Literally every homophobes in the internet trying to place their insult in every way they could. I have read a story about one of the detainees who get humiliated in the interrogation room for asking him to fake "moaning", describing the way they were treated in disgust, and given only small piece of bread and water in the lockup cell.
I am afraid for myself - afraid that we will soon become criminal for just being gay. What if gay sex is no longer a normal sex and will become the only reason you get jailed for doing what you love in your own private time? Tbh, I am not sure if I want to have sex in a cheap motel anymore.
