Pride and Prejudice: LGBTQ Rights in Asia's Newest Nation of Timor-Leste
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- The tiny island nation of Timor-Leste is the youngest country in Asia. It’s also one of its most Catholic. And, in a surprising twist of fate, it’s leading the fight for LGBTQ rights in a part of the world where these same rights are increasingly under attack.
Nowhere is this battle more evident than Timor-Leste’s annual Pride parade-an event that draws more than a thousand to the streets of downtown Dili. It’s a stark contrast to the situation in neighbouring Indonesia, a massive Muslim-majority country that once called Timor-Leste its own. In Indonesia, the LGBTQ community has recently been experiencing a series of attacks, including state-condoned raids, canings, and official attempts to outlaw public displays of LGBTQ identities.
In contrast, the situation in Timor-Leste looks remarkably safe and open. But an official openness doesn’t automatically make people’s lives free of the kinds of struggles that come with coming out in a deeply religious place, which still sees homosexuality as a sign of deficiency. VICE traveled to Dili to learn more about the struggle, and why Pride-and inclusivity-is so important.

Great video, I really enjoyed. Congratulations to all the beautiful people of Timor Leste. Love from Ireland.
Long live East Timor 🇹🇱greetings from the Philippines 💕🇵🇭
And, greetings from Ireland.
Timor Leste's LGBT presence is much stronger despite being a new country . Viva Timor Leste. Love from the Philippines
*ATTENTION WORLD. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT CAN STOP YOU FROM LOVING WHOEVER YOU LOVE!*
@FARK GOOGLE No, pedophilia is NOT a part of our community.
@FARK GOOGLE One thing all over the news I have seen,people that fight against people being gay usually are gay themselves.Just look up gay priest most that fight against it are themselves gay.
@FARK GOOGLE I'm still trying to figure out why you need to type in all capitals.
Lesbians are seldom spoken about whenever discussions of LGBTQ take place, nice of you to provide a spotlight to them as well.
Great clip! Yes...I was hoping for Lesbian representation as well. Although Butch lesbians were replaced by "The Boys". However, lesbians can be "masculine" presenting without being Trans/male-identified. But mainstream is framing it in that way more & more.
Lets be honest who knew this country existed anyway?
TheShowMan I knew.
what does that have to do with anything? You're basically just flaunting your ignorance at this point, how sad.
Same just knew about this this country about a day ago
seems like you're bad at geography back when at school.
... Every mildly educated person?
This video was also posted in Vice Indonesia and it received so much hate. I'm glad that people commenting here are more open minded and progressive.
Its becouse most of indonesian is anti lgbt, im also to
Open minded you fuckin
Jadi saya tau penyebabnya
Timor Leste pisah di Indonesia bukan hanya karena mayoritas nya agama muslim tapi juga karena mereka ingin mengikuti budaya barat😂
Awww that song is sooo beautiful
Untung Timor Leste sudah lepas dari Indonesia
I am here because of Seagames 2019. Bless you Timor Nation. #Gender Equalality
Let Timor Leste joins ASEAN from the Philippines ... Timor leste govt. respect human rights than Indonesia.
Long Live Timor Leste :)
You know that Indonesia is the biggest supporter for TL joining ASEAN.
Think again, what about your govt country?
We Indonesians tried to make Timor-Leste an Asean country but Singapore won't let that happen 🙄
@@Kanal7Indonesia why?
@@abrqzx Singapura takut Timor Leste akan menjadi beban ekonomi asean
Yassss. Better days are coming. It just a matter of time.
Empower Lesians - Empower Trans this is beautiful
Trans people are beautiful.
Viva Timor-Leste!🇹🇱 Respeito aos LGBT!🏳️🌈 Saudacões do Brasil!🇧🇷
Satan, also called the adversary or the devil, is the enemy of all righteousness and of those who seek to follow God. he and his followers try to lead us away from righteousness. he has many schemes to mislead and turn man from God. satan attempts to undermine us by confusing gender, promoting sexual relations outside of marriage, ridiculing marriage, and discouraging childbearing by married adults who would otherwise raise children in righteousness. The Bible condemns any form of sexual act that is considered “worthless” in God's eyes. homosexuality, beastiality, fornication, and adultery. They say it’s all love and everything, but really there is no true love, they are just looking for lust. God made man & woman as a perfect couple to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. This was given by God not freely chosen. Going against His image & His design is going against Him. we aren't here to change the word of God the word of God is here to change us, What are the actual "fruits"-the results-of the homosexual lifestyle? Can't naturally have biological kids, Diseases, Suffering, Unfulfillment, Nothingness! homosexual activity leads to a host of serious transmitted diseases (STDs) HIV, fatal transmitted Infections, and physical health problems, mental health problems, major depression, anxiety, substance abuse and greater risk of suicidal and a greatly shortened lifespan and the suffering list goes on. Why are there so many diseases? Why such young deaths? It has to do with the sexual practices. It goes against how God created bodies to work. And when you violate God’s design, there are always consequences. Same-sex attraction is always an expression of the fallen nature. But if you repent now, God forgiveness starts the process and His power continues to work in us, when we say yes to Him. But when we fail to listen to God, then problems, affliction and suffering will be the consequence of disobedience. I say this lovingly and to say truth in love is to love one another. Do not value your homosexuality Sin more than you value God. The only hope for the homosexual and all people who break God's laws is to turn to Christ. If we want to walk with Christ we must repent and reject our fleshly desires and deny ourselves. God can Save you from that horrible life and community. God promises the Strength for Victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation.
Aaaaah this is so nice thank you for always making this kind of video it makes me restore a little bit of faith in humanity :') jadi pengen cepet keluar dari indonesia,,
Frans Frans iya, semoga cepat dpt uang biar keluar, dan waktu udh keluar nanti jadi sadar. Kalau untuk merubah sesuatu ke arah yg lebih progresif, ga perlu dilakukan dengan spreading negativity.

@arif mark007 Katanya di video sebelah, kamu udah pindah disana. Kok disini bilangnya mau pindah ?
@raja klana rencananya sih pengen ke jerman untuk kuliah ^.^
It's like Brazil transplanted to Southeast Asia, surreal
I disagree with one thing the lady said in the video when she was talking about God,she said God created us all all,now if there is a God that may be true,however the religious right would say she is wrong and those people where influenced by the devil and "turned gay".
philosophicalreason but new Christian thinking (in all branches) acknowledge the science of sexual attraction and know it’s not influence or a choice. As much as those stuck with teachings of fear and hate from 1200ad want to believe it’s the devil.
@@coyowolf4609
No they don't, the "science" is correctly looked at as flawed phycology theory, not science.
I'm timorese and I agree with you how can a new independent country fall for this especially a Christian country this isn't what our veterans fought for imagine they see our country rn they rather drop their gun and fought with Indonesia instead
@@rfgalaxy7694yeah they actually blaspheming Trinity God for thinking that God love the LGBT, NO God love human not the think or action of LGBT.
love you Timorese
Omg i feel sorry for the dog he's so skinny 😥
I put a like to the effort of the reporter who spoke the local language
tanya braun She actually spoke Indonesian not local and as perceived that Timor was occupied by Indonesia for 24 years. It’s predominantly that local people can speak Indonesian very well even their schools still have it to learn
surprisingly many timorese still fluent speak in indonesian language, even they are like native indonesian
Mereka menghujat Allah Tritunggal dengan membuat parade mendukung LGBT, serius ini penghujatan terhadap kekudusan Allah Tritunggal.
Mereka tidak peduli dengan agama
@@avarein8941 kalo begitu ya harusnya mereka jangan bawa-bawa agama
Orang-orang ini akan pergi ke neraka Meskipun mereka dalam lingkup Gereja Katolik
Lgbt haram di Alkitab lihat kitab Imamat
😭😭😭😭😭 kenapa ini terjadi 😢😢😢😢😢
If only XY = Male and only XX = female then how do we account for XO, XXY, XYY, XXYY, XXXY, XY/XO,,....
I love how Catholic sisters are joining the parade. That's Christianity, all about love. 😇💜
Nope
Don't use Christianity love for this kind of bullshit, chriatianity love the people NOT the LGBT itself.
Timor-Leste is moving forward. No doubt 👍
Yahhh setidaknya kalian lebih open minded. Ga banyak yg radikal.
LGBTQI....mengurangi kepadatan penduduk timles....
So they speak Portuguese in public speaking?
All of this people are beautifull by their own way
Merdeka demi untuk LGBT
😅😅
Jangan harap LGBT tumbuh subur kalau masih gabung indonesia.
Jujur bang aku kecewa dengan timor leste 😢😢😢
padahal di alkitab Lgbt haram bang, Tuhan berfirman di kitab imamat tapi kenapa sekarang banyak menentang Tuhan 😢😢😢😢😢

Most timorese could speak Tetum (their own laguange, mostly mixed with portuguese) Portuguese ( second official language), English and Indonesian.
Portuguese and Indonesia
Maaf sebagai Kristen ingin jujur saya kecewa dengan Timor Leste Maaf sebelumnya saya ingin memberitahu Kalau Anda membaca Alkitab hubungan homoseksual atau sesama jenis itu adalah haram di Alkitab Imamat Tuhan memperingatkan bahwasanya orang seperti itu harus dihukum rajam tapi saya kecewa dengan Timor Leste saya benar-benar kecewa banget
Saya ingin mengatakan umat muslim semuanya Tuhan berfirman lgbt masuk neraka kekristenan mengatakan lgbt itu haram
Rasul Paulus pun mengajarkan hubungan seperti ini akan membawa jiwa kita ke neraka baca kisah para rasul
Saya kecewa dengan gereja sekarang Tuhan mengatakan lgbt masuk neraka tapi kenapa iblis bisa mencari celah di gereja😢😢😢
God? Blessing your event? BAHAHAHAHA
Ikr, they were idiots to believing that. God is loving his creation not what they want in LGBT.

One of reason, why GOD did not give blessing to TL.
Indonesia is more frequently hit by azab than timor leste. We agree what you said against timor leste if indonesia is the least corrupt country in the whole world and indonesian economy in general is as progressive and developed as japan!

Why we don't talk about our duties and it seems to me that we and the big cooperation media obsessed with the Right of human, What about responsibility? We have the responsibility to let people live their private life as we all die and with all the noises of so-called rights. Come on, they are doing sex , not killing or raping each other. Stop this nonsense and talk about some important stuff give them AIR TIME such as CLIMATE CHANGE, POVERTY, THE FUTURE OF FOOD..
Agree 10k%
