Indonesia has summoned the UK’s ambassador to protest the raising of a rainbow flag by the local embassy to commemorate LGBTQ rights.
The move is “extremely insensitive,” Indonesia’s foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that the UK embassy and all foreign delegates should respect the country’s religious and social norms. The UK ambassador has acknowledged the protest and will escalate it to the government in London.
