How Indonesia's election affects the queer community
Their name is Chris Derek. They are a 26-year-old neutrois design graduate who lives in Tangerang, near Indonesia’s capital Jakarta. With the country’s general elections approaching on Wednesday, Derek said certain politicians have historically leveraged anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric as a campaign strategy in several past elections.
They said such politicians boost the issue to garner support from anti-LGBTQ+ factions and secure votes. "For the past three elections, which were in 2014, 2019, and now in 2024, they own been using the same tactic over and over again," Derek said, not naming any specific candidates.
They added that many politicians appear to overlook the adverse effects this has on Indonesian queer people, who suffer from escalating anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. At times, Derek said, such sentiments terminate up in vicious attacks against members of the community.

Brodsky said he determined his patient had OCD related with homosexuality.
"He had a classic case," said Brodsky. "He had some sort of feeling that he was attracted to other guys."
This patient was direct, according to Brodsky, but he had intrusive thoughts that were not based on any strenuous reality in his behavior.
Brodsky said a previous therapist had misdiagnosed his patient as gay, and at the patient's request, sent him off to reparative therapy, a controversial method that has not been proven to be powerful and can be harmful.
"I have many gay clients and phobia is my business," he said. "I tr
