    Should we respect other cultures?

    JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia summoned Britain's ambassador on Monday to explain the raising of a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) flag at its embassy, and urged foreign missions to respect local "sensitivities" following a backlash.

    Barring the sharia-ruled province of Aceh, homosexuality is not illegal in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country, although it is generally considered taboo.

    The rainbow LGBT flag was flown alongside the British flag at the country's embassy in Jakarta on May 17 to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, according an Instagram by the embassy.

    Alumni 212 Brotherhood, an influential conservative Islamic movement, in a statement said the flag sullied the "sacred values of Indonesia".
    Teuku Faizasyah, foreign ministry spokesperson, confirmed British ambassador Owen Jenkins had been summoned.

    "The foreign ministry reminds foreign representatives to be respectful of the sensitivities among Indonesians on matters relevant with their culture, religion and belief," he said.

    If you search, you'll find a host of other mock scenarios that amounted to diddly squat. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    That can't be right the BBC said that Russia have been losing since the start, if only Zelenskyy can get another $100 billion he would finish them off.
    He doesn't need a lift he needs more money .

    I'm doing my bit by rounding up all my purchases in Supermarkets to send to Ukraine.
