Same-sex couples are legally prohibited from adopting children in Indonesia by a joint adoption.

its definition of “prostitute.” No explanation is given for “normal” or “abnormal” acts. It also 
prohibits the formation of organizations “leading to immoral acts” that are “unacceptable to 
the culture of [local] society.” These are later explained by giving examples of lesbian and gay 
organizations “and the like.”

We compiled and translated the tweets from the Indonesian Air Force’s Official Account responding to questions about recruiting LGBTQIA+ identifying people to the Indonesian Military. Here are all the tweets in chronological order: 
 
1. When being asked if members of the LGBTQIA+ community can serve in the Indonesian Military, here are their response: (https://twitter.com/_TNIAU/status/950706476623933446) 
Ooohhh, cannot (shocked face) 
 
Upon selection there are psychological tests, LGBT is a mental disorder. If there are many recruits that are mentally healthy why must we accept the mentally deficient? 
 
2. The twitter went viral and there were some criticisms, which they responded with: (https://twitter.com/_TNIAU/status/950723833606037505) 
(The word “normal” means heterosexual) 
Responding to many mentions that went in -> until right now there are still many Military recruits that have a normal sexual orientation. 
 
Members of the Indonesian Military are governed by military norms including religious norms & laws, so (members) must be physically & mentally healthy 
 
3. In response to the numerous tweets arguing that homosexuality is not a mental illness, they responded with: (https://twitter.com/_TNIAU/status/950733029894381569) 
(“Airmin” is how they say Air Force Admin) 
(“UI” is short for the University of Indonesia, the top University in Indonesia) 
In response to the debate if LGBT is a mental disorder or not, "airmin" will give you a Link containing an opinion from one of the doctors of UI.

4. One person replied that it is an opinion of one person and does not equate the scientific burden of proof. They responded with: (https://twitter.com/_TNIAU/status/950737066127536128) 
As an member of the Military who is pious to the Almighty God and as a Muslim the Al-Quran is enough to be a scientific proof, are there any higher knowledge and more credible than the Holy Bible? In the Holy Bible LGBT is not only prohibited but also “cursed” 
 
5. The Indonesian Air Force responded to more replies with this final tweet: (https://twitter.com/_tniau/status/950738661905121281)
