JAKARTA - 1975's vocalist, guided by the Malaysian LGBTQ+ community for protesting the neighboring country's attitude towards gay rights and kissing bassist Ross MacDonald on stage.

1975 played at the Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, July 21, whenTEN criticized the Malaysian government's hardline stance on LGBTQ+ rights.

The Malaysian law criminalizes sexual activity between the same sex, and criminal law that criminalizes "sexual relations that are against the natural order" and acts of "unsatisfactory".

"I made a mistake. When we ordered the show, I didn't check it. I didn't see the point, it's true, I didn't see the point of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we could have sex with," mitigated NME., Tuesday.

No doubt, with hisgatal statement and behavior on stage, their set cut short just two songs later.

Following the Way, another Good Vibes Festival was canceled by authorities and 1975 was banned from appearing in Malaysia, according to the state's official agency responsible for approving foreign artists' filming and performances.

Now, many people from LGBTQ + Malaysia have an opinion. The Twitter thread by Joe Lee, who is very critical of him, went viral, in which Lee said that my actions would worsen the life of the LGBTQ + community in the country.

"If anything, what Matt totals and The 1975 has done is discounts and disrupts the years of work of local activists who have encouraged change and understanding and endangered our vulnerable minority community," Lee wrote.

Joe also said he agreed with the cancellation of the entire Good Vibes Festival.

"Now, with more quench-friendly artists performing, tell me if you think it's safe to hold a show in two days?" he argued.

You know a number of parties will make a big show, and given the tension, any incident would be catastrophic with very real consequences.

He continued: 'Every country has its own law. Strangers shouldn't come in and disturb us and tell us how to do something, especially if they just make things worse for us.

The real victim of this situation is 1. The Malaysian LGBTQ + community, which has to face the consequences. 2. Malaysian concert industry which is struggling to bounce back after the pandemic.
