Komnas PA denies issuing guidelines to spot gay men in Indonesia

The National Commission for the Protection of Children (Komnas PA) denied they ever issued a set of guidelines to spot gay men in Indonesia.

The guidelines appeared in an image of a newspaper clipping that went viral on social media recently. One of the supposed characteristics of a gay Indonesian man, according to the newspaper, is that they wear V neck t-shirts.

Komnas PA Commissioner Elizabeth Santosa said that the guidelines were falsely attributed to the commission as she maintained that nobody in the commission ever made a statement about homosexual characteristics.

However, it’s not yet known which newspaper the clipping was taken from.
