A young man killed because he was deemed insufficiently masculine is the latest casualty of Malaysia's anti-LGBT culture.

The government claimed it would blacklist attendees of a pre-party for White Party Bangkok -- but the organizer said it's poppycock.

Even with numerous groups protesting the barbaric sentence, the punishment was carried out in public view.

The sentencing of two queer women to caning and a raid on a gay nightclub (pictured) are among the latest actions by the government.

The barbaric punishment has been rescheduled for next month. 

The South Asian nation appears to be continuing a crackdown on its LGBTQ population.

Its health ministry is offering a cash prize to a production that promotes "prevention, control and how to get help" for LGBT people.

Police in Malaysia, where sodomy is a crime, broke up a gay sex party and arrested 37 men, including a Briton and a Chinese national, a senior official said Tuesday. Police, acting on a public tip-off, raided a fitness center in northern Penang island Sunday while a sex party was in progress and arrested the 37 men, aged between 20 and 45, said local police chief Azam Abdul Hamid. Apart from the two foreigners, all of the men are ethnic Chinese Malaysians, including three who work at the center, he said.
