I really don't think it is based to persecute people for having consensual sex or owning rainbow watches, but LGBT shit has become so psychotically degenerate and authoritarian in the west, and is pushing so hard for the same globally, it's easy to cheer for any sort of pushback.
Sadly, defense mechanisms against LGBT encroachment have become very necessary. But for the sake of individual citizens, I hope this will be one of those laws that is in the books to act as a deterrent and won't actually be enforced too strictly.
Unfortunately for your worldview, THAT IS THE LAW OF THAT COUNTRY. Their culture of morality is as valid as yours.
Your argument assumes I consider all the laws and 'morals' of my own country valid. Sometimes laws are wrong. Sometimes social norms are wrong.
Authoritarianism is bad, even if it's on our side. It is NOT any government's business to tell people they can't perform mutually consensual acts. Libertarianism is flawed in that it lacks many of the defenses that a healthy society requires, but it is fundamentally true that the state has no greater right to dictate my actions than I myself do.
Restrictive laws like this are only ever, at best, a necessary evil. They are not to be celebrated.
My argument certainly does not assume you consider your country’s law & morals to be superior; it assumes you think YOUR moral attitude superior. It’s also very telling you say that you consider some of your place’s “social norms to be wrong.”
As for Malaysia. Tough. Luck. It’s their country, they can do whatever they like. Their morality is as valid as yours.

Wearing symbols that openly defy that law? You’ll get what you get.
