Most of the discrimination against them stems from certain individuals and groups in power, whose rhetoric toward the LGBTIQ+ community has encouraged the rise of an anti-LGBTIQ+ movement among religious conservatives and the political right. The Federal Government endorses and funds rehabilitation camps for conversion therapy, and some state legislators have even initiated laws that criminalise the LGBTIQ+. As a result of such pressure and actions against them, many LGBTIQ+ persons lack access to healthcare, the justice system and even education.<\/p><ol><li><p><strong>Stop all prosecution and initiatives to prosecute LGBTIQ+ persons based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/manifestorakyat.my\/ms\/lgbt-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Arabelle Yong, L-INC Foundation, Proposal 2G5-1)<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Place a moratorium on laws that criminalise the LGBTIQ+ community.
