JOIN US.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI) Deputy Chairman Anwar Abbas said the organization \u201ccategorically rejects the visit by the special envoy,\u201d Benar News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benarnews.org\/english\/news\/indonesian\/indonesia-us-lgbt-envoy-visit-12012022125233.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The MUI \u201ccannot welcome a guest whose purpose in coming here is to damage and undermine the noble religious and cultural values \u200b\u200bof our nation,\u201d Anwar said. \u201cIf this behavior is tolerated, it will lead to humanity\u2019s extinction, because if men marry men and women marry women, they will not reproduce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s pause here. Americans are, by and large, accepting of homosexuality. Some 72% of Americans say so, according to a 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/global\/2020\/06\/25\/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists\/\">poll<\/a> by Pew Research.<\/p>\n<p>But America is not the world. That same poll found only 9% of Indonesians agree homosexuality \u201cshould be accepted by society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So why should we fly into their country and push LGBTQ rights? Why should Biden send officials to other countries \u2014 officials who represent America \u2014 and try to be divisive over the issue?<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the U.S. government canceled Stern\u2019s trip to Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[A]fter discussions with our counterparts in the Indonesian government, we have decided to cancel Special Envoy Stern\u2019s visit to Indonesia,\u201d Ambassador Sung Kim said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing that around the world LGBTQI+ persons experience disproportionate levels of violence and discrimination, it is important to continue the dialogue and ensure mutual respect for one another, rather than pretending that the issues do not exist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, for Indonesians. That\u2019s their dialogue to have, not ours.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Indonesia on Tuesday approved a new criminal code to prohibit anyone in the country from having sex outside marriage. The law takes effect in 2025 and will apply to residents and foreigners residing in Indonesia, along with tourists visiting destinations such as Bali.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new code, extramarital sex will carry a jail term of up to a year, unmarried couples living together could be jailed for up to six months, and adultery will also be a jailable offense.<\/p>\n<p>That has prompted widespread protests across the country. And that\u2019s fine \u2014 but it\u2019s none of our business. Imagine if Indonesia sent an envoy to the U.S. to preach jail time for people who have sex outside of marriage.<\/p>\n<p>We do a lot of things right in America, but plenty of things wrong, too. But either way, we ought not to be proselytizing in foreign countries, pushing them to accept homosexuality.
