Outcry in Malaysia over two women sentenced to caning for lesbian sex
(Reuters) - Human rights activists called on Tuesday on Malaysian authorities to review a religious court decision sentencing two women to six strokes for having sex.
The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is routinely persecuted in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where they are seen as a threat to conservative values.
Malaysia describes oral and anal sex as against the order of nature. Civil law stipulates jail for up to 20 years, caning and fines for offenders.
Muslims are also governed by state-level Islamic laws, most of which carry provisions outlawing gay and lesbian sex.

No oral sex? That is a human rights violation! Butt sex I can do without however! On a more serious note, Malaysia sounds like a tolerant utopia!
