        "summary": "The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has proposed replacing the term LGBT with 'LGSP' (Lesbian, Gay, Sodomy, and Molestation) to more accurately reflect what they deem moral deviations. The council is currently drafting an academic paper and a bill to establish legal protections for national morality.",
        "content": "<p>The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUA) has proposed that the term\nLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) be replaced with LGSP, an\nacronym for Lesbian, Gay, Sodomy, and Molestation.<\/p>\n<p>Prof.\u00a0KH Asrorun Niam Sholeh, Chairman of the MUI Fatwa Division,\nstated that this change is necessary because the term LGBT is viewed as\na euphemism that fails to fully represent the substance of the issue.\nAccording to Niam, the current terminology may obscure public perception\nregarding moral deviations.<\/p>\n<p>On this basis, the MUI has chosen the term LGSP to ensure the public\nunderstands that these acts are viewed as prohibited and criminal\nactivities. He warned of the potential consequences of continuing to use\neuphemisms in the public sphere, noting that blurring the meaning could\nlead to moral deviations gradually being perceived as normal and\neventually accepted as truth.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Niam emphasised that MUI fatwas do not merely function\nas normative legal determinations, but also serve as instruments for\nsocial engineering and tools for building public awareness.<\/p>\n<p>As a follow-up to this proposal, the MUI is currently preparing an\nacademic paper and a Draft Bill (RUU) against LGSP. This document is\nplanned to be submitted to the House of Representatives (DPR) and the\ngovernment for further action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe MUI is proactively bringing this fatwa to life through\nregulatory strengthening. We are drafting the academic paper and the\nbill which, God willing, will be presented to the government and the DPR\nin the near future,\u201d Niam said in a statement on Thursday, 30 July\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>He also referenced previous experiences where fatwas regarding\npornography and pornoaction successfully served as the foundation for\nthe Pornography Law. \u201cJust as the fatwas on pornography and pornoaction\nin the past successfully evolved into the Pornography Law, the presence\nof this pioneering Anti-LGSP Bill is expected to serve as a legal\nfortress protecting the nation\u2019s morality and social harmony,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>",
