Indonesian police want gay dating app ban
Jakarta – Indonesian police said Friday they want a ban on gay dating apps in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country after a paedophile ring allegedly used popular service Grindr to pimp boys.
It was the latest move by Indonesian authorities against homosexuals, who have faced a sudden backlash this year, with the government recently declaring there is “no room” in the country for the gay community in response to criticism from activists.
The authorities last week busted an online paedophile ring they said allegedly linked adult men to mostly teenage boys, and arrested three suspects. Police said they discovered Grindr on one of the suspects’ iPads, and believe he had used it to pimp boys.
Users of Grindr, generally gay men, are able to locate and view photos and brief profiles of other users in their immediate vicinity and arrange to meet them.
Agung Setya, the police’s director of economic and special crimes, said police had now found 18 other apps similar to Grindr in use in Indonesia, and are asking the communications ministry to ban them.
He said police “hope that, with the authority the communications ministry has, it will make the right decision and impose a ban”.
There was no immediate comment from the ministry or from Grindr.
At the height of the backlash against the gay community in February, the government had also demanded that all instant messaging apps remove same-sex emoticons or face a ban.
Indonesia’s Constitutional Court is also considering a petition from Islamic activists to make gay sex a crime.
Being gay is not illegal in Indonesia and, prior to the backlash, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community had been able to quietly get on with their lives.

Powerhouse vocalist Sunidhi Chauhan will be in Singapore on Sept 30 to stage a live concert and get the audience grooving to her foot-tapping numbers.
Presented by entertainment and event management firm Out of The Box Creationz, the show will be held at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre Level 6, Hall 601 – 604.
Sunidhi, 33, is the master of dual tone voice and is a powerful stage performer.
Her husky and mellow voice has won hearts all over the world with tracks like Kamli from Dhoom 3, Mere Sang from New York, Bhage Re Mann from Chameli, Gun Gun Guna from Agneepath, Sheila Ki Jawani from Tees Maar Khan, Desi Girl from Dostana and more.
Sunidhi believes that her audience feels more comfortable in hearing her sing item songs and she made a “name because of that genre”.
Her music appeals to the masses also because of the varied elements of pop, hip hop and R&B.
Apart from Hindi, Sunidhi, has sung a number of songs in films in other languages such as Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Assamese, Marathi, Gujarati and Nepali. She has also recorded with Spanish artiste Enrique Iglesias for Heartbeat (India mix).
Popularly known as the Bollywood Singing Diva, Sunidhi, who started performing on stage at the age of five, has been bestowed with many awards including Bollywood’s most prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award.
Sunidhi, who considers melody queen Lata Mangeshkar and American singer-songwriter Beyonce her role models, has received praise from veteran artistes.
Besides other eminent celebrities in the industry, Lata called her the “Numero Uno” (best or most important) singer of the generation and said: “Sunidhi can sing all kinds of songs. And her voice and style have all the elements that Gen-Now hankers after.”
Besides her career in music, Sunidhi has also contributed to various charities. She is associated with social causes like working for the underprivileged children, where she contributes to the safety of them by doing charity shows, donating money and buying clothes.
Sunidhi Chauhan Live coincides with the Hindu festivities which begin on Oct 1 with Navratri followed by Ram Navami, Dussehra, Karva Chauth, Deepavali and Bhai Dooj.
