Currently, no political party in Indonesia has openly supported the LGBT rights movement. However, in October 2016, President Joko Widodo, stated that he is a defender of LGBT rights and that LGBT people should have the right to not be discriminated against. Also, some politicians from the PDI-P (Party for the Indonesian Democracy Struggle) and the moderately conservative PKB (National Awakening Party) has sympathized support for LGBT rights. PDI-P further stated that as a pluralist party, they can accept the existence of LGBT people. Despite holds that it is a deviant behaviour, PDI-P have urged people to tolerate LGBT people and not extend hostile sentiments against them.
