KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malaysia Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed has lashed out at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, saying this week that homosexuality is “not natural” and that same-sex relationships would lead to the “end of” human civilization.
“Men marrying men, women marrying women. . . It’s not natural. Just imagine if we all indulge in that. No children. One generation and the whole human race is wiped out,” Mohamed said.
Speaking at a forum “Politics and Business: The Malaysian Connection” here, the former strongman who retired in 2003, said that once you catered for a specific group such as the LGBT, others would follow suit and ask for more rights too.
“Now we have institutions for men and men, women and women. I want to see how many children they have,” he said.
