In this interview conducted by Not Only Voices, they speak to Mita, a queer activist from Yogyakarta, Indonesia who works at an anarcho-feminist collective called Needle N’Biotch, and Igna who works as a freelancer on gender and sexuality issues.

They talk about how LGBTI identities have been present in Indonesia way before the Western colonization and their experience on how traditional gender roles and heteronormativity may impact the perspectives of some LGBTI persons and contribute to violence among same-sex partners in Indonesia.
