Remember Indonesia is an overwhelmingly Islamic nation - in fact the largest one by population. Blasphemy is illegal. Even complaining about the volume of speakers playing the call to prayer for Muslims will get you arrested. Some areas like Aceh explicitly follow Islamic law (like with sharia courts). The country’s beliefs and attitudes towards things like LGB are deeply influenced by Islam. So it isn’t really surprising even though it’s appalling.
