The 1975 frontman Matty Healy kissed a male bandmate onstage in Kuala Lumpur.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's government halted a music festival in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday , a day after the frontman of British pop rock band The 1975 kissed a male bandmate onstage and criticised the country's anti-LGBT laws.
Homosexuality is a crime in Muslim-majority Malaysia. Rights groups have warned of growing intolerance against the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. "I made a mistake. When we were booking shows, I wasn't looking into it," he said."I don't see the f****** point ... of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we can have sex with."
