Indonesia's parliament speaker has called for reforms to the criminal code that would outlaw any sex outside of marriage, including gay sex.
Under the proposed law, a person found guilty of engaging in "a lewd act" with another person of the same sex could face a sentence of up to 18 months. That sentence could rise to 12 years if the partner is of the same-sex and under the age of 18.

The draft bill also states that sex between a man and a woman who are unmarried should be punishable by up to five years' prison.

Influential conservative groups in Indonesia, such as the Family Love Alliance, have long argued that the country has become overwhelmed by immoral acts, such as sex between young unmarried couples.
