PKS President Applauds Presidential Regulation 111/2025, Calls LGBTQ Campaign a Systematic Threat to the Nation

Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) President Almuzzammil Yusuf has expressed appreciation for the government’s move to officially classify the spread of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) culture as a form of non-military threat in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 111 of 2025 concerning the General Policy on State Defence for 2025-2029. This step is seen as an appropriate and firm response from the state in safeguarding sovereignty, integrity, and national security from ideological and cultural threats that damage the social order. “PKS gives high appreciation to President Prabowo for the issuance of Perpres 111/2025 on General Policy on State Defence. The state’s official recognition of the LGBTQ campaign as a non-military threat is in line with the aspirations of the majority of the Indonesian people. The public is increasingly aware that the LGBTQ campaign is a systematic threat to family resilience and the future of the nation’s generation,” Almuzzammil Yusuf stated in a written statement in Jakarta on Monday (6/7/2026). He further emphasised that the rejection of LGBTQ has a strong ideological and constitutional foundation, namely Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, and is inconsistent with the norms, culture, and values embraced by Indonesian society. “Within the framework of Pancasila, the LGBTQ campaign clearly contradicts the First Principle, Belief in the One and Only God, and the Second Principle, Just and Civilised Humanity. No religion in Indonesia legalises such sexual deviance. This rejection is also very much in line with the mandate of the national education vision in Article 31 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, which obliges the state to organise an education system that enhances faith, piety, and noble character. LGBTQ campaigns and propaganda are also inconsistent with the norms, culture, and values embraced by Indonesian society,” he explained. Almuzzammil underscored the importance of using two clear and proportional approaches in viewing this issue so that the handling is targeted, wise, and solution-oriented. “We must clearly distinguish two things. First, the global movement or LGBTQ campaign that carries an ideological agenda; this is latent and a real threat to our national defence and resilience. Second, individuals who are victims of LGBTQ orientation and lifestyle. This second group is the one we must help, embrace, facilitate, and accompany humanely so they can return to their nature, not to be ostracised,” he added.
