LGBT living condition in KL

Male gay sex is illegal in Malaysia,as is anal sex between a man and a woman, so no overt expression is a really good idea.
I'm aware there are gay dating sites but I would advise great care as there are groups actively hunting homosexuals, and may well use these sites to trap people.
As for social norms, go for the UK in Oscar Wild's time, and you about have it.
Prison, fines, deportation (For foreigners), even flogging are used as punishments in Malaysia, but I believe the flogging is only for Muslim offenders.

That deals with KL but, in some cities, Ipoh and Georgetown come to mind, there are overt gay communities, and a good few ladyboys plying their trade on the streets.

I have absolutely no clue about the laws regarding lesbians, but you could always google.

Yes illegal. But if you stay away from Muslim men that way inclined and are not muslim yourself and don't advertise that you are gay then you can live ok in KL. Plenty of gay Chinese Malaysians and expats around. Don't see many overt gay indian men. Macho thing? Have friends and a colleague who are gay and no hassle if you do as above.

Thanks Nemodot and Mas Fred

I have never been convicted of any crime involving sheep.

Edit - that may well make a nice new username.
