Malaysia’s government is holding seminars on how parents can spot “signs of homosexuality” in children, such as boys "liking large handbags". The Teachers Foundation of Malaysia has organised 10 seminars across the nation and Reuters reports the last event reached 1500 people. "It is a multi-religious and multicultural (event), after all, all religions are basically against that type of behaviour," the official said. A hand out issued at a recent seminar, signs of homosexuality in boys may include preferences for tight, light coloured clothes and large handbags, local media reported. For girls, the details were less clear. Girls with lesbian tendencies have no affection for men and like to hang out and sleep in the company of women, the reports said. Although prosecutions are rare, gay sex can lead to up to 20 years jail, caning or fines in Malaysia.
