The fact that Lady GaGa uses in her new song "Born this Way" for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, get radio listeners in Malaysia did not cooperate. In predominantly Islamic country in the text of the song is censored.
Shortly after the release of the single was clear: "Born this Way" has the makings of a gay anthem. This is also because of the clear opinion that Lady GaGa gives in the song: "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track, baby" sings, the artist in the heart ofof rainbow Fans.
However, radio listeners in Malaysia, this story is withheld: One of the largest radio broadcaster in the country, AMP Radio Networks, that line has censored and replaced with a gurgle. For the message from Lady GaGa "could be construed as offensive, when compared with the social and religious realities of Malaysia compares, "said a spokesman: "Gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender to be by people in Malaysia is still a taboo considered. "
And radio stations that do not abide by the conditions of the predominantly Muslim country, risking a fine of up to 50,000 Ringit converted just over € 10 000, or other sanctions.
The Malaysian lesbians and gay activist Pang Khee Teik can not understand the decision of the radio station. He thinks that media should be "a platform for oppressed voices to be understanding and do not manage to continue with ignorance and hatred. " He now asks Lady GaGa, a great commitment for lesbian and gay rights to complain to the radio stations and forbid them to play their songs.
Lesbians and gays have to fear reprisals in Malaysia and over again: So the police are always targeted against massage parlors and fitness centers where they suspected focus of gay life. Where the detainees could face up to 20 years in prison.
