Gay pastor holds wedding banquet in Malaysia

A gay Malaysian pastor said Monday he had held a wedding banquet with his American partner despite earlier outrage by conservatives in the Muslim-majority country opposed to their union. Ngeo Boon Lin, who has authored a number of books on gay and other issues under the name Ouyang Wen Feng, said he held the private, traditional Chinese wedding celebration at a restaurant in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. "I wanted to inspire others to speak the truth and to stand up for our rights," he told AFP. Ngeo married his partner, African-American Broadway musical producer Phineas Newborn III, last year in New York, where they live. That came shortly after same-sex marriages were legalised there.

Haram to support DAP, screams Utusan front page

Malay daily Utusan Malaysia today front-paged the call of a controversial cleric that it is haram (forbidden) for Muslims to support the DAP, since DAP is clearly against hudud law. The daily quoted Abdullah Sa'amah, the founder of traditional grassroots learning centre Pondok Geting in Tumpat, Kelantan, as saying that DAP consists of kafir harbi (non-believers who are hostile to Islam). Abdullah said this was opposed to the MCA and MIC, which were not harmful. "DAP's struggle is not acceptable under the federal constitution. They want equal treatment for Muslims and non-Muslims, for temples and mosques to be treated the same. "It's compulsory for Muslims in PAS, Umno and PKR to reject DAP, which is looking for a way to control the country through the ballot box," Utusan quoted Abdullah as saying. Read more...
