“It is natural for the government to act responsively to the insensitivity of the British Embassy to fly the LGBT flag at its embassy and to warn them not to disrespect the prevailing social norms in Indonesia,” said Hikmahanto.

He hoped MoFA would immediately explain to the public the results of the summon to calm public outcry.

The British Embassy raised the rainbow flag on May 17 which coincided with the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia because the UK considers LGBT rights to be fundamental human rights and hopes that the criminalization of LGBT minorities still happening in dozens of countries, including harassment and acts of violence, can be stopped immediately.
