A recruitment ad from the Indonesian government seeking a new Creative Youth Ambassador has plainly stated that it does not want anybody from the LGBTQ community to apply.
The Watch A Taste of Experience Onlinead, from the Gerakan Nasional Permuda Kreatif (National Creative Youth Movement), is seeking someone between the ages of 20 and 27 to apply.

Sehat jasmani dan rohani, tidak terlibat pergaulan bebas dan penyinpangan perilaku seksual termasuk LGBT, yang dijelaskan melalui surat keterangan dokter.
That translates to: "We require someone physically and mentally healthy, not involved in promiscuity and sexually deviant behaviour, including LGBT, which should be proven through a doctor's certificate."
The statement has drawn brickbats and mockery in online forums, with many questioning just how a doctor might be able to certify someone as straight.

In January, Indonesia's minister of higher education said he wanted to ban LGBTQ student organisations from college campuses. In the months ensuing, a tirade of anti-LGBTQ hostility started collecting from religious groups and secular organisations in the country.
The government asked popular chat messenger, Line, to remove stickers featuring same-sex couples, while Tumblr was briefly banned for "pornographic content."
