THE lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community have been told to keep their lifestyle private in Islamic Malaysia, the Malay Mail reported. 

The daily quoted Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as saying that the fringe groups could coexist in Malaysia if they kept their practices “behind closed doors” and did not try to “glamourise” their private lives. 

She reminded them that the official religion in the country was Islam, which did not permit such a lifestyle.
